Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Exposes local host and build-environment details to an unrelated endpoint without user consent. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 1.0.10 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package automatically collects host and CI identity details and sends them to a hard-coded external IP during installation. This is install-time data exfiltration unrelated to the package’s stated purpose. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T00:12:08.284Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T00:12:22.446Z - **Download time:** 766 ms - **Static scan time:** 17 ms - **AI review time:** 13379 ms - **Total time:** 14162 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Automatic exfiltration of host and CI identity data. - **Trigger:** Runs during postinstall and when the package main entry point is imported. - **Impact:** Exposes local host and build-environment details to an unrelated endpoint without user consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T00:12:22.446Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Collects hostname, home directory, platform, and CI provider, then sends them in an HTTPS POST to a hard-coded IP address. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the postinstall hook runs index.cjs, which gathers the machine hostname, home directory, platform, and CI provider and POSTs them to a hard-coded IP address. Importing the package also executes the same entry point. This is automatic transmission of local environment data without user consent. - **Rationale:** The package automatically collects host and CI identity details and sends them to a hard-coded external IP during installation. This is install-time data exfiltration unrelated to the package’s stated purpose. - **Network endpoints:** https://130.162.231.177:8443/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The postinstall script runs index.cjs automatically., index.cjs collects the machine hostname, home directory, platform, and CI provider., index.cjs POSTs the collected data to the hard-coded endpoint https://130.162.231.177:8443/., index.cjs is also the package main entry point, so importing the package runs this code. - **Evidence against:** The shown payload does not include credential contents or file contents. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pcb-dp/qa-commons@1.0.10. - Avoid installing @pcb-dp/qa-commons@1.0.10. 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.
