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 information to an external server. Both preinstall and postinstall trigger the request silently. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T14:22:19.458Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T14:22:48.975Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 7 ms - **AI review time:** 29259 ms - **Total time:** 29517 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 information to an external server. Both preinstall and postinstall trigger the request silently. - **Trigger:** npm installation of the package - **Impact:** Unconsented disclosure of the installing account, host name, working directory, and installation timing. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T14:22:48.975Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install hooks invoke curl with shell-derived host data - **Attack narrative:** The package registers preinstall and postinstall commands that run curl automatically. Each request embeds whoami, hostname, the current working directory, and a timestamp in a query string sent to tko.amgsec.com. Output is discarded and failures are ignored, so installation performs silent host fingerprinting without a package function requiring it. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, unconsented install-time host-data exfiltration to a fixed external endpoint. The inert JavaScript file does not mitigate the lifecycle-hook behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, /dev/null - **Network endpoints:** tko.amgsec.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Automatic preinstall and postinstall hooks send the current username, hostname, working directory, and timestamp to a remote host over HTTP., The hooks suppress output and ignore failures, making the host-fingerprinting request silent during installation. - **Evidence against:** index.js contains only a placeholder comment and no runtime logic. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @traktis/environment@99.99.1. - Avoid installing @traktis/environment@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.
