It transmits a host/install-derived identifier to a third-party webhook endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm install, during preinstall - **Impact:** Leaks identifying system and project-install context to an unrelated external endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-report.js, index.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T15:52:15.501Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** silent install-time host and install-directory telemetry exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, the preinstall hook runs install-report.js. It derives a tag from os.hostname() and the final component of process.cwd(), then sends it in a GET request to webhook.site. The request is not required by the exported utility functions, targets a third-party collection endpoint, and suppresses failures. - **Rationale:** This is concrete unconsented install-time collection and exfiltration of host/project context. The benign utility exports do not justify the lifecycle telemetry. - **Files touched:** package.json, install-report.js - **Network endpoints:** https://webhook.site/93b065ab-227f-4253-b940-361d00e9b870/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs install-report.js during npm preinstall., Preinstall code sends the host name and install-directory-derived tag to a third-party webhook.site URL., The outbound request is silent and errors are swallowed. - **Evidence against:** index.js only exports basic string, delay, validation, and JSON helpers., No source writes files, executes commands, or loads remote code. ## Public findings ### 1.
