AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Direct inspection confirms concrete install-time network exfiltration of host metadata, with no package source implementation present. This is malicious supply-chain behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-15T10:20:27.845Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-15T10:20:53.361Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 1 ms - **AI review time:** 25254 ms - **Total time:** 25516 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 sends host-identifying metadata to a third-party webhook. No source files besides the manifest are present. - **Trigger:** npm install, before package installation completes - **Impact:** Unconsented disclosure of installation-host metadata to a third party. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-15T10:20:53.361Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** preinstall curl POST exfiltrates hostname and timestamp - **Attack narrative:** \`package.json\` executes a \`preinstall\` command automatically when npm installs this package. The command POSTs to a third-party webhook URL and includes \`$(hostname)\` plus the current timestamp as a query parameter, creating unconsented install-host telemetry. The manifest is the only package file and its declared runtime entrypoint does not exist, so the package provides no apparent legitimate implementation that would justify the lifecycle network call. - **Rationale:** Direct inspection confirms concrete install-time network exfiltration of host metadata, with no package source implementation present. This is malicious supply-chain behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://webhook.site/54919426-084d-4288-8f80-e36ae5c76e32 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** \`package.json\` defines a \`preinstall\` lifecycle hook., The hook runs \`curl -X POST\` to \`webhook.site\` during installation., It embeds the installing host's hostname and a timestamp in the request URL., The package description explicitly says “Softwaer supply chain attack vector”., Declared \`index.js\` entrypoint is absent; package contains only \`package.json\`. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ac-raf-emitter@3.0.1. - Avoid installing ac-raf-emitter@3.0.1. 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. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.
