AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe parent manifest installs a remote dependency whose automatic preinstall collects user and host identifiers and sends them to an unrelated OAST collector. This is an installation-time disclosure, so publication should be blocked.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installation of the package and its remote tarball dependency.
Impact
Installation exposes identifying machine and user data to the collector without installer consent.
Mechanism
The dependency preinstall runs test.js, which hex-encodes the username, hostname, and home directory and places each value in an HTTP request hostname.
Attack narrative
On installation, the package pulls a remote tarball with a preinstall hook that runs a test file. That file encodes the username, hostname, and home directory, then sends them in HTTP requests to a collector-controlled hostname. No installer consent gate is present in the inspected chain.
AI rationale
The parent manifest installs a remote dependency whose automatic preinstall collects user and host identifiers and sends them to an unrelated OAST collector. This is an installation-time disclosure, so publication should be blocked.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package depends on a remote tarball whose manifest runs test.js during preinstall.
- The preinstall script sends hex-encoded username, hostname, and home-directory values to subdomains of an OAST collector.
- The dependency performs an HTTP request to the generated collector URL without a consent check.
