## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Unauthorized cryptocurrency mining consumes the installing machine's resources; privileged execution can permit broader persistence and system changes.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Crypto Miner
- **Selected version:** 2.3.102
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package's automatic postinstall script downloads and executes a concealed miner, with privileged and unprivileged execution paths. This is concrete malicious install-time behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The automatic postinstall hook downloads and runs a concealed cryptocurrency miner. It attempts a persistent privileged install when possible and otherwise runs an extracted miner under a stealth name.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm, which invokes its postinstall script.

- **Impact:** Unauthorized cryptocurrency mining consumes the installing machine's resources; privileged execution can permit broader persistence and system changes.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/miner.sh

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T03:37:11.076Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The shell script fetches and decompresses a remote carrier, executes it with root or passwordless sudo, or extracts and launches an XMRig binary and configures its mining pool.

- **Attack narrative:** Installing this package automatically runs a shell script that downloads and decompresses a remote carrier. The script runs the carrier as root or through passwordless sudo when available; otherwise it extracts and launches an XMRig binary, configures a mining pool, and places the miner at a stealth-named path. This is an active install-time mining and persistence chain.

- **Rationale:** The package's automatic postinstall script downloads and executes a concealed miner, with privileged and unprivileged execution paths. This is concrete malicious install-time behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/miner.sh

- **Network endpoints:** https://amplify-gursha-dev-121835-deployment.s3.amazonaws.com/amplify-cfn-templates/cloud-backend-cache-20261019.gz, networkservicesupp.flashhub.net:8443

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 100.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** package.json runs scripts/miner.sh automatically during postinstall., The script downloads and decompresses a remote carrier without a consent check., The script launches the carrier with root or passwordless sudo, or extracts and runs an XMRig binary as an unprivileged user., The unprivileged path configures mining against networkservicesupp.flashhub.net:8443 and copies the miner to a stealth-named path.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @sudobility/wildduck\_client@2.3.102.

- Avoid installing @sudobility/wildduck\_client@2.3.102. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
