npm postinstall fetches an unverified native archive from a fixed IP address, extracts it, and installs a runnable CLI binary. The payload is not present in the inspected package, so its behavior cannot be verified.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm postinstall fetches an unverified native archive from a fixed IP address, extracts it, and installs a runnable CLI binary. The payload is not present in the inspected package, so its behavior cannot be verified.

- **Trigger:** npm install; subsequently running the onecode CLI

- **Impact:** A network attacker or payload host can supply code that becomes the package CLI.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, platform-bootstrap.mjs, bin/onecode

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T08:21:48.029Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** insecure remote native payload bootstrap

- **Rationale:** This is a real unverified remote-payload install chain, but the inspected source does not itself show exfiltration, destructive behavior, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. It warrants a warning rather than a block under the stated boundary.

- **Files touched:** .platform-bootstrap-work, bin/.onecode, .platform-version, .opencode, .oneskills

- **Network endpoints:** https://218.90.133.98:4443/onecode\_tgz

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** postinstall invokes platform setup during npm installation., Bootstrap downloads a versioned archive from a fixed IP endpoint with TLS verification disabled., Downloaded archive is extracted and its native binary is hard-linked into the CLI launcher., CLI executes that installed binary when the user runs onecode.

- **Evidence against:** Inspected JavaScript contains no credential harvesting or data-exfiltration logic., Writes and asset symlinks are scoped to this package directory; no foreign agent configuration is directly modified.

Install-time source downloads a native archive from a fixed external host without transport verification, extracts it, and installs an executable payload.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node ./postinstall.mjs
Install-time code downloads an unverified remote native archive, stages it locally, activates an executable path, and exposes it to process execution.
L10: import os from "os"
L11: import https from "https"
L12: import { fileURLToPath } from "url"
...
L15: const product = "onecode"
L16: const DEFAULT_TGZ_BASE = "https://218.90.133.98:4443/onecode_tgz"

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = @onescience/onecode@1.14.50-202607281613
matchedPath = platform-bootstrap.mjs
matchedIdentity = npm:QG9uZXNjaWVuY2Uvb25lY29kZQ:1.14.50-202607281613
similarity = 1.000

- **Path:** postinstall.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@onescience/onecode@1.14.50-202608141612/postinstall.mjs>)

Bootstrap downloads a versioned archive from a fixed IP endpoint with TLS verification disabled.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
function platformTgzUrl(version) {
  const base = (process.env.ONECODE_TGZ_DOWNLOAD_BASE || DEFAULT_TGZ_BASE).replace(/\/$/, "")
  const dir = encodeURIComponent(`onecode-${version}`)
  const file = encodeURIComponent(`onecode-linux-x64-${version}.tgz`)
  return `${base}/${dir}/${file}`
}

function downloadFile(url, dest) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const file = fs.createWriteStream(dest)
    const req = https.get(url, { rejectUnauthorized: false }, (res) => {
```

### 12. Medium: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 96.0%
- **Path:** platform-bootstrap.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@onescience/onecode@1.14.50-202608141612/platform-bootstrap.mjs>)

Downloaded archive is extracted and its native binary is hard-linked into the CLI launcher.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
console.log(`Downloading ${packageName} from ${url}`)
  fs.rmSync(workDir, { recursive: true, force: true })
  fs.mkdirSync(workDir, { recursive: true })
  await downloadFile(url, tmpTgz)
  console.log(`Downloaded ${path.basename(tmpTgz)} (${(fs.statSync(tmpTgz).size / 1024 / 1024).toFixed(1)} MB)`)

  fs.mkdirSync(tmpExtract, { recursive: true })
  execSync(`tar -xzf "${tmpTgz}"`, { cwd: tmpExtract, stdio: "pipe" })
