@sxm-content-creators/tools-ds@1.0.1
Authorized Test Package
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically runs an install hook that sends hostname, home-directory, platform, and CI-provider data to an unrelated hard-coded endpoint. This is malicious install-time data exfiltration.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Package installation runs the postinstall script automatically.
Impact
An unrelated external endpoint receives identifying details about the installation environment without user consent.
Mechanism
index.cjs gathers hostname, home directory, platform, and CI provider, then sends them in an HTTPS POST.
Attack narrative
During installation, the postinstall hook runs index.cjs, which collects host and CI identity details and POSTs them to a hard-coded external IP. This is unauthorized install-time data exfiltration.
AI rationale
The package automatically runs an install hook that sends hostname, home-directory, platform, and CI-provider data to an unrelated hard-coded endpoint. This is malicious install-time data exfiltration.
