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 host and CI-related environment metadata. They transmit it over HTTP to a remote host. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T14:58:18.436Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T14:58:47.519Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 7 ms - **AI review time:** 28575 ms - **Total time:** 29083 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 host and CI-related environment metadata. They transmit it over HTTP to a remote host. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs preinstall and postinstall automatically. - **Impact:** Host identity, current project path, and selected CI or user environment values are disclosed to a third party. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T14:58:47.519Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Shell-based environment collection and HTTP exfiltration. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the preinstall command gathers the username, hostname, working directory, timestamp, and selected environment values. It base64-encodes the selected values and sends them in an HTTP request to tko.amgsec.com. The postinstall command repeats this collection. Error suppression does not limit the attempted disclosure. - **Rationale:** This package has no functional implementation but automatically exfiltrates host and CI-related metadata at install time. The behavior is concrete, unconsented, and unrelated to a legitimate package function. - **Files touched:** package.json, /dev/null - **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, timestamp, and selected environment variables to a remote HTTP host., The postinstall hook repeats the same automatic data collection and transmission after installation. - **Evidence against:** The only JavaScript file is a placeholder comment and contains no functional package code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @traktis/core@99.99.2. - Avoid installing @traktis/core@99.99.2. 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.
