AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This package is an opaque, import-time network service with concealed data-forwarding infrastructure that is unrelated to its stated package identity. No install lifecycle or confirmed automatic credential theft was found, so the source supports a warning rather than a publish block.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Running the adbf CLI or importing index.js.

Impact

Arbitrary data sent to the exposed endpoint can be forwarded to the embedded service; the opaque import-time server also creates unexpected network exposure.

Mechanism

Import-time server startup and relay of submitted content to hidden external services.

AI rationale

Evidence

bin/adbfindex.js

Network endpoints1

api.telegram.org

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The CLI immediately imports the large bundled main file.
The imported code starts a network server during module load.
A handler forwards submitted content through an obfuscated Telegram client and stores it in an obfuscated database connection.
The package is heavily obfuscated and contains unrelated server, database, and messaging functionality.

Evidence against

package.json contains no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook.
The observed forwarding path is activated by a request to the server's add endpoint; no automatic local credential harvesting was confirmed.
