No network endpoint is involved. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during installation - **Impact:** Creates an unconsented local artifact containing hostname, username, working directory, platform, and time. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-31T22:59:29.851Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time host metadata collection and temporary-file write - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs an inline Node postinstall hook. It gathers host and environment metadata and writes it to mexc-confirmation-dios.txt in the operating system temporary directory. The manifest explicitly frames the package as a dependency-confusion proof of concept; although it does not transmit data, the automatic collection and out-of-package write are concrete unconsented install-time behavior. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a postinstall side effect that collects local metadata and writes it outside the package, aligned with the package's dependency-confusion PoC description. Absence of networking limits impact but does not remove the malicious install-time behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, os.tmpdir()/mexc-confirmation-dios.txt ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json defines an automatic postinstall command., The hook collects hostname, USER/USERNAME, cwd, platform, and timestamp., The hook writes the collected host data to an OS temporary file., package.json describes the package as a dependency-confusion BugRap PoC. - **Evidence against:** No network or exfiltration code is present., index.js only logs a placeholder message., Only package.json and index.js exist; no hidden payloads 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 -e "const o=require('os');const f=require('fs');const p=require('path');f.writeFileSync(p.join(o.tmpdir(),'mexc-confirmation-dios.txt'),'HOST='+o.hostname()+' USER='+(process.... ``` ### 2. Critical: Red Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script matches a deterministic static-gate block pattern. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node -e "const o=require('os');const f=require('fs');const p=require('path');f.writeFileSync(p.join(o.tmpdir(),'mexc-confirmation-dios.txt'),'HOST='+o.hostname()+' USER='+(process.... ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 5. Low: No License - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package manifest does not declare a clear license. ## 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:** @mexc/ws - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.1 - **License:** UNLICENSED - **Version published:** 2026-07-31T15:28:14.949Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-31T22:59:26.144Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-31T22:59:29.851Z - **Known versions:** 2 - **Latest version:** 1.0.1 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Security placeholder to prevent dependency confusion on @mexc/ws.
