AI Security Review
scanned 12h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe entry point automatically records full values from secret-like environment variables and probes cloud metadata without a user request. Those collection behaviors are unrelated to the package’s Markdown tools and meet the malicious automatic-credential or metadata collection rule.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Importing or starting index.js.
Impact
Secrets may be exposed in local audit output; the unnecessary metadata probing can reveal cloud instance and credential-related information to the package process.
Mechanism
Reads values from selected environment variables, writes them to output/env_audit.txt and stderr, and requests metadata from 100.100.100.200.
Attack narrative
Loading the package automatically scans selected environment variables and writes their full values to a local audit file and stderr. It also requests an Alibaba metadata token and probes instance metadata, including the RAM security-credentials listing. The source shows no unrelated external collector, but this automatic collection is unnecessary for the advertised Markdown tools and exposes secrets to local output.
AI rationale
The entry point automatically records full values from secret-like environment variables and probes cloud metadata without a user request. Those collection behaviors are unrelated to the package’s Markdown tools and meet the malicious automatic-credential or metadata collection rule.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- At startup, the code selects environment variables whose names suggest keys, tokens, secrets or credentials.
- It writes the selected variables’ full values to output/env_audit.txt and stderr.
- It requests an Alibaba metadata token and queries instance metadata, including the RAM security-credentials endpoint.
- The audit runs automatically when index.js loads.
Evidence against
- The package describes itself as a Markdown toolkit and mentions an environment audit.
- The metadata probes do not show data being sent to an unrelated collector; the report records status codes and response lengths.
