The loader downloads Bun when absent and executes the payload, which contains credential/token collection and network-upload code. - **Trigger:** Installing @servicetitan/startup@38.1.4 - **Impact:** GitHub credentials/tokens and related local data can be collected and exfiltrated during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:55:35.148Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** staged Bun-loaded credential-harvesting payload - **Attack narrative:** The preinstall hook runs setup.mjs. It either invokes Bun or downloads a platform-specific Bun archive from GitHub, extracts it to a temporary directory, and uses it to execute math\_init.js. That obfuscated payload imports filesystem, crypto, and process-control modules; its static control flow enumerates GitHub token fields and sends collected values through fetch-based upload routines while suppressing errors. - **Rationale:** This is concrete install-time execution of an obfuscated staged payload with credential-harvesting and upload behavior, unrelated to the advertised CLI. It warrants blocking. - **Files touched:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js, /etc/os-release - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/download/bun-v1.3.13/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node setup.mjs\` as preinstall., setup.mjs downloads Bun, then executes \`math\_init.js\` during install., math\_init.js is a 727 KB heavily obfuscated executable payload., Payload imports fs, crypto and child\_process, enumerates GitHub token fields, and uses fetch-based upload logic., Payload catches errors and exits, reducing visible install failures. - **Evidence against:** The visible TypeScript/dist CLI source is consistent with a project startup tool., setup.mjs downloads Bun only as a loader for the bundled payload, not normal package functionality. ## Public findings ### 1.
