Later CLI operations execute those remotely supplied binaries. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall; later OKX CLI network or authentication operations trigger the binaries. - **Impact:** A server controlling a listed download host can supply code that is installed automatically and executed by the CLI. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T19:27:34.043Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic remote native-binary delivery followed by local execution. - **Attack narrative:** The package's postinstall lifecycle hook obtains checksum metadata and native executable files from the same remote host, writes them under .okx/bin, and marks them executable. The hash comparison cannot protect against a compromised or malicious download host because that host supplies both the executable and expected hash. Runtime code then invokes the installed Pilot and authentication binaries. This creates an automatic staged remote-code-execution path outside the npm tarball. - **Rationale:** This package automatically stages remotely controlled native binaries during installation and executes them later. Same-origin checksum metadata does not provide independent integrity protection. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, .okx/bin/okx-pilot, .okx/bin/okx-auth - **Network endpoints:** https://static.jingyunyilian.com, https://static.okx.com, https://static.coinall.ltd ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The postinstall hook automatically runs a downloader., The downloader fetches native Pilot and authentication executables from remote hosts into the user home directory., Its checksum is downloaded from the same remote source as the executable, so it does not establish independent provenance., The CLI later executes both downloaded binaries. - **Evidence against:** The downloader uses HTTPS and checks a SHA-256 value before replacing a local binary., No source evidence shows collection or transmission of local credentials during installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @okx\_ai/okx-trade-cli@1.4.6. - Avoid installing @okx\_ai/okx-trade-cli@1.4.6. 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.
