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. Installing the package automatically transmits host-identifying data to an external server twice. The requests are silent and unrelated to any implemented package function. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T14:58:18.678Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T14:58:49.990Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 6 ms - **AI review time:** 31046 ms - **Total time:** 31312 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:** Installing the package automatically transmits host-identifying data to an external server twice. The requests are silent and unrelated to any implemented package function. - **Trigger:** npm installation, before and after dependency installation - **Impact:** Discloses the installer identity, machine name, project path, and install timing to a third party. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T14:58:49.990Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** silent curl-based host fingerprinting and remote transmission - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, preinstall and postinstall invoke curl to send whoami, hostname, the current project directory, and a timestamp to tko.amgsec.com. Output is discarded and errors are ignored, so the collection is not apparent to the installer. The package contains no functional code that would justify this telemetry. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, unconsented install-time host data exfiltration with no corresponding package functionality. It is malicious install-hook abuse. - **Files touched:** package.json - **Network endpoints:** http://tko.amgsec.com/depconf/traktis-core/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The preinstall hook sends the current user, hostname, working directory, and timestamp to a remote HTTP endpoint., The postinstall hook repeats the same undisclosed host-fingerprinting request after installation., Both hooks suppress failures, hiding the network action from normal installation output. - **Evidence against:** No runtime package implementation or legitimate install setup is present; index.js is only a placeholder comment. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @traktis/core@99.99.1. - Avoid installing @traktis/core@99.99.1. 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.
