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. On npm install, the preinstall hook collects the machine hostname and local username and beacons them to 127.0.0.1:8099, labeled as the foreign package @waves/icons. Import only prints a dependency-confusion line. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T14:55:56.055Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T14:56:51.548Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 6 ms - **AI review time:** 54975 ms - **Total time:** 55493 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Import only prints a dependency-confusion line. - **Trigger:** Automatic npm preinstall, before any user command. - **Impact:** Install-time disclosure of host identity to a local listener, hidden from the install log, as a dependency-confusion stand-in for @waves/icons. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T14:56:51.548Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** node -e reads os.hostname and os.userInfo().username and issues http.get to http://127.0.0.1:8099 with pkg, host, and user query parameters, with stderr redirected to /dev/null. - **Attack narrative:** Installing @rutxploit-sec/waves-icons runs a preinstall one-liner before the package is used. That script reads the hostname and username and GETs them to 127.0.0.1:8099 as if the package were @waves/icons, while stderr is discarded. Loading index.js only prints a dependency-confusion notice. Bug-bounty wording in the metadata does not change the unsolicited install beacon. - **Rationale:** The preinstall hook unconditionally harvests hostname and username and sends them over HTTP during install, with errors silenced, while presenting the package as @waves/icons. Self-described bug-bounty text does not remove that install-time exfiltration. - **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:** The preinstall script runs node, reads os.hostname and os.userInfo().username, and sends them in an HTTP GET to http://127.0.0.1:8099 while discarding stderr., package.json names the package @rutxploit-sec/waves-icons and describes it as standing in for the unrelated package @waves/icons., index.js prints a dependency-confusion marker when the module is loaded and exports an empty object. - **Evidence against:** The callback host is loopback 127.0.0.1:8099 rather than a public server., index.js does not send data; it only logs and exports an empty object. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @rutxploit-sec/waves-icons@1.0.0. - Avoid installing @rutxploit-sec/waves-icons@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.
