The Tiledesk server module

AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is not confirmed malware, but an install-time secret-bearing file mutation and obfuscated runtime code leave a real supply-chain risk. No concrete exfiltration, remote payload, persistence, or destructive behavior was established.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Installing the package while ENABLE_ENTERPRISE_MODULE is set.

Impact

The supplied npm token can remain in .npmrc and be exposed to other local project processes.

Mechanism

Environment-gated creation of a local npm authentication file.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.json.npmrc

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

An automatic preinstall hook conditionally writes the NPM_TOKEN value into .npmrc.
A loaded payment module is deliberately obfuscated, reducing auditability.

Evidence against

The hook is gated by ENABLE_ENTERPRISE_MODULE and performs no network request or command beyond npm run.
No self-dependency, credential exfiltration, destructive action, or AI-agent configuration mutation was found.
The flagged queue code is not reached by its worker path, which calls an undefined processMsg3 method instead.
