Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Automatic npm lifecycle hooks collect installation-host metadata and transmit it to a Telegram endpoint. This is an unconsented install-time callback. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T00:03:14.719Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T00:03:51.187Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 22 ms - **AI review time:** 35690 ms - **Total time:** 36468 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Automatic npm lifecycle hooks collect installation-host metadata and transmit it to a Telegram endpoint. This is an unconsented install-time callback. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs preinstall and postinstall. - **Impact:** Installation environment details, including credential-related variable names, are disclosed to an external recipient. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, callback.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T00:03:51.187Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** callback.js inventories environment and host context, builds a message, and posts it over HTTPS. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, both lifecycle hooks invoke callback.js while suppressing failures. The script gathers host and CI/cloud context plus names of potentially sensitive environment variables, then sends the resulting message to Telegram. The behavior is automatic and unrelated to the declared utility package function. - **Rationale:** The package implements an automatic install-time reconnaissance and external callback chain. Its research labels do not establish consent for this behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, callback.js - **Network endpoints:** api.telegram.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package runs callback.js automatically during both preinstall and postinstall., The callback collects host, user, working-directory, home-directory, CI/cloud, registry, and UID metadata., It identifies environment-variable names matching credential-related patterns., It sends the constructed message by HTTPS to api.telegram.org. - **Evidence against:** The inspected source does not read secret environment-variable values or files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @siriusbeyond/utils@99.0.0. - Avoid installing @siriusbeyond/utils@99.0.0. 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.
