Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package runs an unconsented preinstall hook. It gathers host-identifying information and transmits it to a local HTTP listener while hiding failures. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T07:04:55.259Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T07:05:42.144Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 7 ms - **AI review time:** 46377 ms - **Total time:** 46885 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:** The package runs an unconsented preinstall hook. It gathers host-identifying information and transmits it to a local HTTP listener while hiding failures. - **Trigger:** Automatic npm preinstall execution. - **Impact:** Installation can silently disclose the machine hostname and local account name to a listener controlled by another local process. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T07:05:42.144Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Inline Node code reads operating-system identity information and issues an HTTP request to 127.0.0.1:8099. - **Attack narrative:** This dependency-confusion-themed package executes before installation completes. Its hook collects the current hostname and username, then sends both to a local HTTP service and suppresses error output. The entrypoint reinforces that the package is intended to be loaded from public npm as part of dependency confusion. - **Rationale:** Automatic collection and transmission of host identity data during preinstall is concrete install-hook abuse. The package's dependency-confusion framing reinforces malicious intent. - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:8099/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest identifies this package as a public-package impersonation proof of concept., An automatic preinstall hook collects the local hostname and account name, sends them to a local HTTP receiver, and suppresses errors., The runtime entrypoint explicitly announces public-package dependency confusion. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @rutxploit-sec/subsplash-intercom@1.0.0. - Avoid installing @rutxploit-sec/subsplash-intercom@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.
