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. Install and import execute an obfuscated DNS lookup that encodes the machine username, hostname, and current directory name into a name under oob.algamil7x.xyz. The lookup is disguised as a registry connectivity probe and errors are ignored. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T16:57:10.897Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T17:00:10.569Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 48 ms - **AI review time:** 179118 ms - **Total time:** 179672 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The lookup is disguised as a registry connectivity probe and errors are ignored. - **Trigger:** npm install runs node index.js, and any require of the package entry calls the same runtime bootstrap. - **Impact:** A remote DNS listener at the decoded zone can learn who installed the package and which project directory was current, while installation still succeeds. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, runtime/index.js, runtime/support/telemetry/index.js, runtime/support/telemetry/probe/index.js, runtime/support/telemetry/probe/impl.js, runtime/support/telemetry/probe/f8c0e3.js, runtime/support/telemetry/probe/a9d1f4.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T17:00:10.569Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** index.js loads runtime/index.js, which calls support.initialize. Telemetry then runs the probe, whose module loads impl.js. That file immediately collects identity fields and calls dns.resolve4 with a label-encoded query. - **Attack narrative:** npm install and any load of the package entry run index.js, which invokes the runtime bootstrap before exporting the GTM helpers. Telemetry then loads the probe, which requires impl.js, and that file runs at once. It reads the OS username, hostname, and current directory base name through obfuscated os and process access, joins them with a time value, and calls dns.resolve4 on the resulting name under oob.algamil7x.xyz. Errors are caught so the install looks successful while the DNS query can reveal who installed the package and from which project directory. - **Rationale:** The install entry unconditionally runs an obfuscated identity beacon to oob.algamil7x.xyz, which is unrelated to the GTM dataLayer API. Char-code hiding, swallowed errors, and a fake diagnostic comment show deliberate covert collection on install and import. - **Network endpoints:** oob.algamil7x.xyz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The install lifecycle script runs node index.js., index.js invokes the runtime bootstrap immediately and swallows errors before exporting the library., runtime/index.js calls support.initialize during that bootstrap., Telemetry start calls probe.run, and loading the probe requires impl.js for its side effect., impl.js reads the username, hostname, and working-directory base name, then calls dns.resolve4 on a dotted label string., Obfuscated helpers load node os, dns, and process, and decode the DNS zone oob.algamil7x.xyz with prefix tvggtm. - **Evidence against:** The src library only builds dataLayer events, tags, and consent checks., No child\_process, eval, or HTTP client is present., The DNS callback is empty and the probe does not write files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tvg-mar/promos-gtm@9.9.10. - Avoid installing @tvg-mar/promos-gtm@9.9.10. 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.
