It extracts and marks the downloaded binary executable, then the CLI launcher executes it. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall, followed by invoking the onecode command - **Impact:** A network attacker or archive host can supply native code that runs with the installing user's privileges when the CLI is launched. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, platform-bootstrap.mjs, bin/onecode - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T07:48:11.509Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unauthenticated remote native payload installation and execution - **Attack narrative:** npm runs postinstall, which calls the bootstrap. The bootstrap accepts a TLS connection to a fixed IP address without certificate validation, downloads a versioned archive, extracts it into node\_modules, and makes the contained binary executable. The launcher subsequently resolves and spawns that binary. This gives the remote archive source a direct path to native-code execution on the consumer machine. - **Rationale:** This package automatically installs an opaque native payload from an unauthenticated remote endpoint and later executes it. The absence of integrity verification makes the install hook a concrete supply-chain code-execution path. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, platform-bootstrap.mjs, bin/onecode, node\_modules/onecode-linux-x64/bin/onecode, bin/.onecode, .platform-bootstrap-work - **Network endpoints:** https://218.90.133.98:4443/onecode\_tgz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The postinstall hook automatically invokes the platform bootstrap., The bootstrap downloads an executable archive from a hard-coded IP address while disabling TLS certificate validation., The downloaded archive is extracted into node\_modules and its binary is made executable., The launcher runs the provisioned binary when the user invokes the command. - **Evidence against:** The inspected JavaScript does not harvest credentials or environment values for transmission., The visible file mutations are confined to this package's installation directory and its platform subdirectory. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @onescience/onecode@1.14.50-202609141543. - Avoid installing @onescience/onecode@1.14.50-202609141543. 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.
