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 identity and selected environment data to a remote server. The transmission occurs over HTTP and failures are hidden. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T14:58:18.624Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T14:58:53.745Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 7 ms - **AI review time:** 34610 ms - **Total time:** 35121 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 identity and selected environment data to a remote server. The transmission occurs over HTTP and failures are hidden. - **Trigger:** npm installation, through preinstall and postinstall hooks - **Impact:** Leaks local identity, project location, and CI metadata to a third party. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T14:58:53.745Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** curl-based host and environment data exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the preinstall hook runs curl and embeds the current username, hostname, working directory, timestamp, and a base64-encoded subset of environment variables in a request to a remote HTTP endpoint. The postinstall hook repeats the same collection. Both redirect output away and ignore errors, so the activity is silent to the installer. - **Rationale:** This package has no functional code but uses two unconsented automatic lifecycle hooks to exfiltrate host and CI information. The behavior is concrete install-time data collection and warrants blocking. - **Files touched:** package.json - **Network endpoints:** http://tko.amgsec.com/depconf/traktis-environment/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Both automatic install hooks send host and environment data to an external HTTP endpoint., The hooks collect the username, hostname, working directory, timestamp, and selected CI and user environment variables., The requests suppress errors, making the collection silent during installation. - **Evidence against:** The package contains no executable application entry point or dependencies., index.js is only a placeholder comment and is not referenced by the manifest. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @traktis/environment@99.99.2. - Avoid installing @traktis/environment@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.
