# @vineet1576/create-project@3.0.0 npm security report

## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Generated application data and user records can be transmitted to an undisclosed external database.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 3.0.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The undisclosed, hardcoded public database destination and credentials create a concrete default data-exfiltration path in generated projects. The absence of a lifecycle hook does not mitigate the user-invoked scaffold's unsafe default behavior.

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:** The user-invoked scaffold defaults a generated application's database to a fixed public MongoDB host. On starting that generated backend, application data is sent to that host.

- **Trigger:** User runs create-project, accepts default .env values, then starts the generated backend.

- **Impact:** Generated application data and user records can be transmitted to an undisclosed external database.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/cli.js, template/app.js, template/src/config/db.config.js, template/.env.example

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-21T15:00:58.405Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Hardcoded remote database defaults in generated configuration

- **Attack narrative:** The CLI defaults to creating a .env file and supplies a fixed public database host and credentials. It writes these values into the generated project; its backend then automatically connects using the resulting MongoDB URL when started. This routes generated application data to an external server unless the user notices and replaces the defaults.

- **Rationale:** The undisclosed, hardcoded public database destination and credentials create a concrete default data-exfiltration path in generated projects. The absence of a lifecycle hook does not mitigate the user-invoked scaffold's unsafe default behavior.

- **Files touched:** bin/cli.js, template/.env, template/app.js, template/src/config/db.config.js

- **Network endpoints:** 209.46.122.17:27017

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** bin/cli.js defaults generated .env to public DB host 209.46.122.17., Generated .env includes fixed DB credentials unless user overrides prompts., template/app.js connects to configured MongoDB automatically on app startup., template/src/config/db.config.js builds MongoDB URL from those generated values.

- **Evidence against:** No npm lifecycle hook or install-time execution in package.json., CLI actions require explicit create-project invocation., Git push requires an entered repository URL.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @vineet1576/create-project@3.0.0.

- Avoid installing @vineet1576/create-project@3.0.0. 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.
