AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe concealed preinstall downloader/executor is unrelated to the package’s stated functionality, and the executed payload includes credential-token handling. This is a concrete install-time malicious execution chain.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package runs the preinstall lifecycle hook.
Impact
Potential theft or misuse of GitHub credentials and arbitrary code execution during dependency installation.
Mechanism
install-time remote runtime download and obfuscated credential-harvesting payload execution
Attack narrative
On npm installation, package.json invokes setup.mjs. That script downloads a platform-specific Bun binary from GitHub if Bun is absent, then executes the unrelated, 727KB obfuscated math_init.js payload. Static inspection of that payload shows child-process execution and GitHub credential-token handling (`ghtoken`, `ghs_old`, `ghs_jwt`), while the advertised source and runtime entrypoint are ordinary React utilities and do not use it.
AI rationale
The concealed preinstall downloader/executor is unrelated to the package’s stated functionality, and the executed payload includes credential-token handling. This is a concrete install-time malicious execution chain.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- package.json runs `node setup.mjs` as preinstall.
- setup.mjs downloads Bun 1.3.13 from GitHub and executes math_init.js during installation.
- math_init.js is a 727KB heavily obfuscated executable payload unrelated to the published React utility sources.
- math_init.js contains credential-token handling paths including `ghtoken`, `ghs_old`, and `ghs_jwt`, plus child_process use.
- The legitimate src/ and dist/ entrypoint do not reference the preinstall payload.
Evidence against
- dist/index.js only exports utility hooks and registry providers.
- README and src describe a normal cross-MFE React utility API.
