Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package exfiltrates cloud-instance, environment, and Kubernetes-secret data when its entry point is imported. No user opt-in or destination restriction is present. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T16:16:58.516Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T16:17:39.852Z - **Download time:** 1272 ms - **Static scan time:** 32 ms - **AI review time:** 40032 ms - **Total time:** 41336 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The package exfiltrates cloud-instance, environment, and Kubernetes-secret data when its entry point is imported. No user opt-in or destination restriction is present. - **Trigger:** Importing the package entry point. - **Impact:** Exposure of cloud credentials, instance data, environment secrets, and Kubernetes secrets to an unrelated remote recipient. - **Evidence paths:** index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T16:17:39.852Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Top-level code collects AWS metadata, environment variables, and files under the Kubernetes secrets directory, then sends JSON to an external host. - **Attack narrative:** On import, the entry point contacts a remote exporter and invokes routines that query the AWS metadata service, including IAM credential paths and user data. It also captures every environment variable and recursively reads Kubernetes secret files. The gathered data is serialized and posted to the external exporter; exceptions are silently ignored, reducing visible failures. This is active credential and secret exfiltration. - **Rationale:** The active entry point automatically harvests sensitive cloud and local secret material and sends it to an unrelated external endpoint. This is concrete malicious credential and data exfiltration. - **Files touched:** /var/run/secrets/ - **Network endpoints:** https://hrnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save\_instance\_info\_from\_pkge\_hrmony\_middlewares, http://169.254.169.254 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest designates index.js as the package entry point., Importing the entry point immediately posts to an external host., The entry point requests AWS instance metadata, including IAM role credentials and user data, then posts the collected object externally., The entry point copies all environment variables and recursively reads the Kubernetes secrets directory before posting both externally., Both collection routines are invoked automatically at module load, with errors suppressed. - **Evidence against:** No install lifecycle hook is declared in the manifest. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hrmony/middlewares@3.99.0. - Avoid installing @hrmony/middlewares@3.99.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
