This provides an install-time execution beacon to an external host. - **Trigger:** npm install - **Impact:** Reveals that installation occurred and permits unconsented outbound network activity. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, beacon.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T21:49:07.706Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall HTTPS callback beacon - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes its postinstall lifecycle hook, executing beacon.js without an explicit user command. That file sends an HTTPS GET request to an externally controlled OAST endpoint, confirming installation to the endpoint operator. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms unconsented install-time network activity, not merely a static hint. No broader payload behavior was found, but the concrete lifecycle beacon warrants blocking. - **Files touched:** package.json, beacon.js - **Network endpoints:** https://jobzq12beck611luewfsf8yyepkg86wv.oastify.com/postinstall-fired ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json defines postinstall: node beacon.js, beacon.js performs HTTPS GET during install, Request targets external oastify.com host - **Evidence against:** No file harvesting, shell execution, or persistence found, Package contains only package.json and beacon.js ## Public findings ### 1.
