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. Installation automatically transmits machine-identifying information to an external collector. No explicit consent gate appears in the executable script. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-05T05:31:22.147Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-05T05:32:07.300Z - **Download time:** 1012 ms - **Static scan time:** 16 ms - **AI review time:** 44124 ms - **Total time:** 45153 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:** Installation automatically transmits machine-identifying information to an external collector. No explicit consent gate appears in the executable script. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** The collector receives the installing machine's hostname, platform, Node.js version, and installation event. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, ping.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-05T05:32:07.300Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** ping.js constructs a URL containing host information and sends an HTTPS GET, suppressing network errors. - **Attack narrative:** The published package invokes ping.js automatically during installation. That script gathers machine information and sends it to a fixed external webhook without an opt-in gate. Its security-research labeling does not neutralize the active data transfer. The inspected payload is limited to host and runtime information; credential theft was not observed. - **Rationale:** Inspected source establishes automatic, unconsented host-information exfiltration during installation. The security-research claim does not excuse this active behavior. - **Network endpoints:** https://webhook.site/e4e1e2f8-765a-4b5c-9996-86387708357f ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json automatically runs ping.js after installation., ping.js collects the machine hostname, operating system platform, and Node.js version into a webhook.site URL., ping.js sends the collected data through HTTPS and silently suppresses failures., Package metadata claims a security-research purpose for dependency confusion; this claim does not establish consent for automatic reporting. - **Evidence against:** The inspected script does not read credentials or local files., index.js throws on import instead of providing functional library exports. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @inpeek/odata@99.99.99. - Avoid installing @inpeek/odata@99.99.99. 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.
