It stores them under the user's home directory and the CLI later executes them. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall; later CLI network and authentication actions invoke the dropped binaries. - **Impact:** A remote host that controls both the binary and its checksum can cause unreviewed native code to run under the installing user's account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T03:14:31.907Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time remote binary download followed by later local execution. - **Attack narrative:** During npm postinstall, the package downloads checksum metadata and platform executables from remote CDN hosts, replaces files in ~/.okx/bin, and marks them executable. The integrity check trusts metadata fetched from the same host as the executable. The shipped CLI subsequently runs okx-pilot and okx-auth, so a remote payload is introduced automatically at install time and executed later outside the reviewed package source. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic lifecycle remote-code delivery chain, not a transparent package-only CLI installation. The downloaded payload is not independently pinned or reviewable, and the package executes it later. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, ~/.okx/bin/okx-pilot, ~/.okx/bin/okx-auth, dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://static.jingyunyilian.com/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.okx.com/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.coinall.ltd/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.jingyunyilian.com/upgradeapp/tools/oauth, https://static.okx.com/upgradeapp/tools/oauth, https://static.coinall.ltd/upgradeapp/tools/oauth ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package automatically runs a postinstall script., Postinstall fetches checksums and platform binaries from three remote hosts., The script places downloaded files in ~/.okx/bin and makes them executable., The CLI later executes the downloaded pilot and auth binaries., Checksum data comes from the same remote source as the binary, so it does not establish a pinned publisher identity., The bundled CLI installer places a remotely obtained Pilot binary under ~/.okx/bin. - **Evidence against:** No local secret-harvesting or exfiltration code was confirmed in the inspected files., The remote binary contents are not present in this package snapshot. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @okx\_ai/okx-trade-cli@1.4.7. - Avoid installing @okx\_ai/okx-trade-cli@1.4.7. 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.
