It also writes a vendor-provided tracking canary in the user's home directory. - **Trigger:** npm global installation, via postinstall - **Impact:** Destructive interference with existing tools and non-consensual device-identifying telemetry/persistence. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/cleanup-globals.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T03:12:15.304Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global binary removal plus fingerprint beaconing and canary persistence - **Attack narrative:** On a detected global install, the postinstall hook removes several user-level executables based on names and locations rather than verified ownership. In the same automatic install path, it hashes stable host identifiers and transmits the result to api.sigmashake.com, then stores a returned canary under the user home directory. These actions occur without an explicit user command or consent. - **Rationale:** The package performs destructive mutations and fingerprint telemetry during postinstall. The global-install gate does not make deletion of potentially unrelated binaries or device tracking benign. - **Files touched:** bin/cleanup-globals.cjs, ~/.local/bin/ssg, ~/.local/bin/libssg\_eval.so, ~/.bun/bin/ssg, ~/.sigmashake/.canary, /etc/machine-id - **Network endpoints:** api.sigmashake.com/v1/install/register ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall automatically executes cleanup-globals.cjs., For global installs, it deletes ~/.local/bin/ssg, ~/.local/bin/libssg\_eval.so, and ~/.bun/bin/ssg when not linked to this package., Install code derives a stable fingerprint from machine ID, host name, home directory, platform, and architecture., It POSTs the fingerprint to the vendor and persists a returned canary ID under ~/.sigmashake. - **Evidence against:** The destructive and tracking routine is gated to detected global installs., The CLI launcher otherwise resolves and executes its package-aligned platform binary. ## Public findings ### 1.
