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. Installing the package runs a preinstall script that beacons the local hostname and username to a loopback HTTP listener and hides script errors. Requiring the module only prints a dependency-confusion notice. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T14:56:31.630Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T14:57:17.470Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 7 ms - **AI review time:** 45317 ms - **Total time:** 45840 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Requiring the module only prints a dependency-confusion notice. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall during package installation; requiring the package only prints a log line. - **Impact:** Any install leaks the host name and local account name to whatever is listening on 127.0.0.1 port 8099, without a user command beyond install. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T14:57:17.470Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The preinstall script executes node -e, calls os.hostname and os.userInfo().username, and issues http.get to http://127.0.0.1:8099 with those values plus a fixed package name in the query string, then redirects stderr to /dev/null. - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, the preinstall script starts Node, reads the computer hostname and the current username, and sends both in a query string to http://127.0.0.1:8099 while naming the request as @subsplash/sentry. Standard error from that command is discarded. The package description and the main module present the package as a public stand-in for @subsplash/sentry. Claims that this is an authorized bug-bounty fixture do not remove the unsolicited install-time beacon. - **Rationale:** The preinstall hook unconditionally exfiltrates hostname and username to a listener and suppresses errors, which is concrete install-time data collection. A loopback URL and bug-bounty wording do not make that install behavior consented or harmless. - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:8099 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** npm preinstall runs a node one-liner that reads the machine hostname and OS username and sends them in a GET query to http://127.0.0.1:8099, labeled as package @subsplash/sentry., The same preinstall hook discards stderr with 2\>/dev/null and prints a dependency-confusion execution banner., index.js, loaded via main, logs that @subsplash/sentry was loaded from the public npm registry and exports an empty object. - **Evidence against:** The callback host is loopback 127.0.0.1 rather than a remote collector., index.js imports os but does not read or send hostname or username when the module is required., No file writes, credential-file reads, or runtime self-dependency are present. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @rutxploit-sec/subsplash-sentry@1.0.0. - Avoid installing @rutxploit-sec/subsplash-sentry@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: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() npm preinstall runs a node one-liner that reads the machine hostname and OS username and sends them in a GET query to http://127.0.0.1:8099, labeled as package @subsplash/sentry.
