Package published under a scope shadowing internal Luminary Cloud packages (@luminarycloudinternal) at version 9999.0.1 — the canonical dependency-confusion shape designed to win version resolution over a private internal package of the same name. On install, postinstall.js (line 8) performs an HTTPS GET to a hardcoded external host (poc-luminary-npm-1782987043.testingboxes.com) carrying installer-owned CI and host... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-08T17:24:38.979Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-08T17:25:10.588Z - **Download time:** 779 ms - **Static scan time:** 33 ms - **AI review time:** 30797 ms - **Total time:** 31609 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:** Install triggers a dependency-confusion canary that fingerprints the environment and sends it to an external researcher endpoint. No persistence or credential file harvesting was found, but the network callback is automatic at install time. - **Trigger:** npm install runs package postinstall lifecycle - **Impact:** Leaks package, npm user agent, CI/repo metadata, hostname, username, and OS details to an external endpoint - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-08T17:25:10.588Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time host and CI fingerprint exfiltration via HTTPS GET - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms automatic install-time host/CI fingerprint exfiltration to an external endpoint for a dependency-confusion canary. Even without credential theft, persistence, or destructive actions, this is concrete unconsented install-time data exfiltration from environments resolving an internal-looking package name. Product guard normalized a non-low false-positive publish\_block request to warn-only suspicious. - **Files touched:** postinstall.js - **Network endpoints:** https://poc-luminary-npm-1782987043.testingboxes.com/cb/5457161feaa0f110e5790adead3a652e0a2f40773c6cfb40 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** package.json defines install-time postinstall: node postinstall.js, postinstall.js sends HTTPS GET to external testingboxes.com endpoint during install, postinstall.js collects host/user/OS plus CI repo, runner, sha, ref, workflow env identifiers, postinstall.js suppresses errors and never fails install - **Evidence against:** No child\_process, shell execution, eval, dynamic require, or native/binary loading found, No file reads/writes or persistence found beyond executing postinstall.js, README/package comments describe it as a dependency-confusion canary ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @luminarycloudinternal/frodo@9999.0.2. - Avoid installing @luminarycloudinternal/frodo@9999.0.2. 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.
