## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The package transmits the installing or importing machine's hostname to a third-party webhook. It runs automatically at postinstall and when its main module is imported.

- **Trigger:** npm installation or importing the package main entry point.

- **Impact:** Leaks a host identifier and execution context to an external endpoint without user action.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, beacon.js, index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T08:19:54.843Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Automatic HTTPS telemetry of the local hostname to webhook.site.

- **Attack narrative:** During installation, npm runs beacon.js. The script constructs a request to a third-party webhook containing the local hostname and the stage value, then suppresses errors. The package main entry point also loads the same beacon during import. This is unconsented external telemetry rather than required package functionality.

- **Rationale:** An automatic lifecycle hook and import path exfiltrate the local hostname to an unrelated webhook. The package description's claim of benign testing does not establish consent or negate the behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, beacon.js, index.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://webhook.site/b76376f8-118e-44f1-a5ee-8a73f55b137b

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The postinstall lifecycle hook automatically runs beacon.js., beacon.js sends the machine hostname and execution stage to a third-party webhook., Importing the main entry point also runs the beacon.

- **Evidence against:** No file writes, shell execution, or payload download were found.

## Affected versions and remediation
