## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm preinstall downloads/executes Bun, which runs an obfuscated second-stage payload. That payload fetches code for eval and handles GitHub credentials.

- **Trigger:** npm install

- **Impact:** Remote code execution and theft of GitHub credentials.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:22:31.012Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** install-time staged payload execution and credential exfiltration

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes setup.mjs. It downloads a Bun binary from GitHub if absent, then executes math\_init.js. The large obfuscated payload dynamically fetches response content and evals it; its decoded-control flow also locates GitHub tokens and performs network upload behavior. This is an unconsented install-time staged execution chain unrelated to a Babel preset.

- **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms a preinstall downloader/runner and an obfuscated payload with remote eval and credential-handling behavior. The package is malicious.

- **Files touched:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js, system temp directory

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/download/bun-v1.3.13/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node setup.mjs\` as preinstall., setup.mjs downloads and executes Bun on \`math\_init.js\`., math\_init.js is 728KB obfuscated install payload., math\_init.js fetches response text and executes it with \`eval\`., math\_init.js enumerates GitHub-token sources and contains upload/exfiltration flow.

- **Evidence against:** index.js is a conventional Babel preset export., No benign purpose explains the obfuscated credential-capable payload.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
