It runs in all three npm install lifecycle phases. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T23:54:17.726Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T23:54:50.574Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 21 ms - **AI review time:** 32309 ms - **Total time:** 32848 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically fingerprints the host and exfiltrates hostname, username, and install path. It runs in all three npm install lifecycle phases. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall, install, or postinstall - **Impact:** Unconsented disclosure of local identity and installation-location data to third parties. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, index.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T23:54:50.574Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time DNS and HTTPS host-fingerprint exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes install.js through preinstall, install, and postinstall. The script obtains the hostname, username, and current working directory, embeds identity values in a DNS lookup, and POSTs the values to webhook.site with TLS certificate verification disabled. - **Rationale:** The source implements concrete, unconsented install-time host-data exfiltration to external endpoints. The stated research purpose does not remove the active collection and transmission behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, install.js, index.js, README.md - **Network endpoints:** f1lo5k.dnslog.cn, webhook.site/a97323a7-ff55-4678-b499-7392cc604db0 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** All preinstall, install, and postinstall hooks execute install.js., Install code collects hostname, username, and current install path., It sends those values to external DNS and HTTPS endpoints during installation., HTTPS disables certificate verification. - **Evidence against:** No file reads, child-process execution, persistence, or runtime payload is present., index.js exports an empty object. ## Public findings ### 1.
