That payload includes remote code evaluation and token-oriented behavior. - **Trigger:** Installing @ornikar/postcss-config@9.1.7 - **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution and likely credential theft on the install host. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:20:04.269Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** preinstall downloader executes obfuscated payload with remote eval - **Attack narrative:** The preinstall hook invokes setup.mjs, which obtains a Bun binary, then executes math\_init.js. The bundled payload is heavily obfuscated and contains an eval of fetched response text, subprocess/filesystem behavior, and GitHub-token-oriented logic. This creates unconsented install-time remote code execution unrelated to the package's advertised PostCSS configuration. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an install-triggered downloader/executor chain leading to an obfuscated remote-eval payload. This is concrete malicious behavior, not a noisy static signal. - **Files touched:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js - **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 Bun from github.com and executes math\_init.js during install., math\_init.js is a 728KB obfuscated payload, not PostCSS configuration., math\_init.js fetches response text and passes it to eval., math\_init.js contains GitHub-token handling and child-process/file operations. - **Evidence against:** index.js is a small normal PostCSS plugin config., No legitimate package functionality requires a Bun bootstrapper or opaque payload. ## Public findings ### 1.
