AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T09:36:39.638Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T09:37:17.226Z - **Download time:** 1534 ms - **Static scan time:** 5 ms - **AI review time:** 36049 ms - **Total time:** 37588 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:** Installing the package triggers a remote dependency preinstall that discloses host identifiers to an OAST collector. - **Trigger:** Installation of the package and its remote tarball dependency. - **Impact:** Installation exposes identifying machine and user data to the collector without installer consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ea3ef364-23a3-4767-8817-1102173c333d/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ea3ef364-23a3-4767-8817-1102173c333d/0/npm-linux/test.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ea3ef364-23a3-4767-8817-1102173c333d/0/npm-linux/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T09:37:17.226Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ea3ef364-23a3-4767-8817-1102173c333d/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ea3ef364-23a3-4767-8817-1102173c333d/0/npm-linux/test.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ea3ef364-23a3-4767-8817-1102173c333d/0/npm-linux/index.js - **Network endpoints:** http://\.211opddcs2njayzu1fb98149s0yrmia7.oastify.com/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @platform-services/hrm-mfe-core@99.9.1. - Avoid installing @platform-services/hrm-mfe-core@99.9.1. 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.
