It transmits a machine-derived fingerprint without an interactive consent step. - **Trigger:** Installing the package globally through npm. - **Impact:** Removes other installed binaries, exposes a stable device identifier to a remote service, and writes a tracking token under the user's home directory. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/cleanup-globals.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-15T05:19:16.581Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall deletion, device fingerprinting, remote registration, and canary persistence. - **Attack narrative:** During a global npm installation, postinstall invokes cleanup-globals.cjs. The script removes named executables in user-controlled global locations when they do not resolve inside this package. It then derives a stable fingerprint from machine identifiers and local host data, posts it to api.sigmashake.com, and stores a returned canary token in ~/.sigmashake/.canary. These actions occur automatically rather than through an explicit user command. - **Rationale:** The automatic install hook deletes external user binaries and performs persistent machine tracking with remote transmission. This is concrete destructive behavior and data exfiltration unrelated to safely installing the package. - **Files touched:** ~/.local/bin/ssg, ~/.local/bin/libssg\_eval.so, ~/.bun/bin/ssg, ~/.sigmashake/.canary, /etc/machine-id, HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Cryptography - **Network endpoints:** api.sigmashake.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package runs cleanup-globals.cjs automatically in postinstall., On global installation, the hook deletes several user-level ssg binaries outside its own installation., The hook hashes a stable machine fingerprint including the machine ID, hostname, and home directory., The hook sends that fingerprint to api.sigmashake.com and persists a server-issued canary token. - **Evidence against:** The destructive and tracking code is gated to installations detected as global., No runtime dependency on another release of this package is declared. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @sigmashake/ssg@1.1.8. - Avoid installing @sigmashake/ssg@1.1.8. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
