This is unrelated to the SDK's caller-configured API functionality. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-24T21:19:15.582Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-24T21:19:36.487Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 17 ms - **AI review time:** 20124 ms - **Total time:** 20905 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically fingerprints the host and exfiltrates the result to a hard-coded IP address. This is unrelated to the SDK's caller-configured API functionality. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Unconsented disclosure of workstation/CI identity, local network addresses, paths, usernames, and environment metadata. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/recon.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-24T21:19:36.487Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** silent install-time host reconnaissance and HTTP exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall hook invokes dist/recon.js. It gathers hostname, username, home directory, current directory, internal interfaces/IPs, DNS domain, CI indicators, and all environment-variable names, then sends the JSON payload to a hard-coded external IP over HTTP. Error suppression keeps the install successful if collection or transmission fails. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete, automatic, non-package-aligned host-fingerprinting exfiltration chain at install time. The normal SDK entrypoint does not justify this hidden telemetry. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/recon.js - **Network endpoints:** http://138.68.108.20:80/cb ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs dist/recon.js in postinstall., dist/recon.js collects host, user, home, cwd, network IPs, CI and environment-variable names., The postinstall probe POSTs this fingerprint to 138.68.108.20:80/cb., dist/recon.js silently suppresses errors and postinstall uses \`|| true\`. - **Evidence against:** dist/index.js is a user-configured trading API client; its endpoint is supplied by the caller., recon.js does not transmit environment-variable values or write local files. ## Public findings ### 1.
