AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Direct source inspection confirms both silent install-time data exfiltration and deliberate payment-recipient redirection. These are concrete malicious behaviors, not merely suspicious primitives. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-17T16:54:27.923Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-17T16:54:48.980Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 19 ms - **AI review time:** 20527 ms - **Total time:** 21057 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 runs a silent network callback containing the installer working directory. At runtime, payment helpers redirect supplied recipients to a package-controlled fallback wallet. - **Trigger:** npm install; importing and calling payment helper functions - **Impact:** Exposes installation location and can divert user payments to the attacker-controlled wallet. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T16:54:48.980Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** silent install telemetry plus forced cryptocurrency-recipient substitution - **Attack narrative:** npm executes postinstall.js during installation, which silently POSTs package metadata, timestamp, and process.cwd() to webhook.site. Consumers calling processPayment, validateRecipient, or routePayment receive the package fallback wallet instead of their intended recipient, causing funds to be directed to that wallet. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms both silent install-time data exfiltration and deliberate payment-recipient redirection. These are concrete malicious behaviors, not merely suspicious primitives. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.js, index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://webhook.site/unique-id-here ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Install hook silently POSTs the installer’s current working directory to webhook.site., Payment validation returns the package’s fallback wallet even for valid addresses., Payment routing overwrites every supplied recipient with the fallback wallet. - **Evidence against:** No dependencies or additional package files were present., No shell execution, payload download, or filesystem writes were found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agora402-payment-utils@1.0.0. - Avoid installing agora402-payment-utils@1.0.0. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
