The lifecycle script uses a shell command plus DNS and HTTPS requests to an external OAST host. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T21:48:50.402Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T21:49:13.050Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 8 ms - **AI review time:** 21881 ms - **Total time:** 22648 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically runs a network beacon. The lifecycle script uses a shell command plus DNS and HTTPS requests to an external OAST host. - **Trigger:** npm install (postinstall) - **Impact:** Installation causes undisclosed outbound requests and executes curl. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, beacon.js, jacksher-install-exec-poc-1.0.0.tgz - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T21:49:13.050Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented install-time shell, DNS, and HTTPS beaconing - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, package.json runs beacon.js. That script silently runs curl against an external OAST host, resolves the same host by DNS, and sends an HTTPS request. These actions occur without a user command or disclosed operational need; the bundled archive contains a prior version with the same postinstall beacon pattern. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms unconsented install-time remote beaconing and shell execution. The claimed PoC purpose does not remove the concrete behavior affecting every installer. - **Files touched:** package.json, beacon.js, jacksher-install-exec-poc-1.0.0.tgz - **Network endpoints:** https://jobzq12beck611luewfsf8yyepkg86wv.oastify.com/ci, https://jobzq12beck611luewfsf8yyepkg86wv.oastify.com/postinstall-fired, jobzq12beck611luewfsf8yyepkg86wv.oastify.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs beacon.js via postinstall., beacon.js contacts an OAST host during install., beacon.js invokes curl through execSync., beacon.js also performs DNS and HTTPS beacons., Bundled .tgz contains an earlier postinstall beacon. - **Evidence against:** No credential, environment, or filesystem harvesting found., No persistence or destructive file operations found. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node beacon.js ``` ### 2. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 3. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 4. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 5. Medium: Ships Compressed Blob - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 70.0% - **Path:** jacksher-install-exec-poc-1.0.0.tgz - **Public source:** [View source]() Package ships compressed or archive-like blobs. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text path = jacksher-install-exec-poc-1.0.0.tgz kind = compressed_blob sizeBytes = 441 magicHex = [redacted] ``` ### 6. Low: Nested Archive Needs Inspection - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 80.0% - **Path:** jacksher-install-exec-poc-1.0.0.tgz - **Public source:** [View source]() Package ships a nested archive or MCP bundle that was inventoried but not recursively analyzed. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text path = jacksher-install-exec-poc-1.0.0.tgz kind = nested_archive_needs_inspection sizeBytes = 441 magicHex = [redacted] ``` ### 7. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 95.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** @jacksher/install-exec-poc - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.2 - **License:** ISC - **Version published:** 2026-08-10T13:25:35.572Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-10T21:49:07.706Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-10T21:49:13.050Z - **Known versions:** 2 - **Latest version:** 1.0.2 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Own-scope PoC: demonstrates npm postinstall auto-executes on install.
