It also collects local identity and configuration data into a temp file. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs preinstall and postinstall automatically; the CLI additionally activates on an explicit analyze-phishing command. - **Impact:** Hostnames are disclosed during installation; local Git identity and proxy configuration are collected, and selected file content is sent remotely when the CLI is used. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, preinstall.js, postinstall.js, index.js, bin/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T16:44:22.979Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time host beaconing and local identity harvesting; user-invoked file-content upload - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the declared preinstall script constructs a request hostname from the victim machine hostname and sends a GET request to an OAST domain. This unconsented install-time beacon is unrelated to normal package installation. Postinstall then collects system, proxy, and Git-identity data into a temp log. Separately, its advertised CLI uploads an explicitly selected file's content to a remote service. - **Rationale:** The automatic hostname disclosure to an OAST endpoint is concrete install-time exfiltration behavior. The local harvesting and remote content-upload path reinforce that this is not a benign package-only install check. - **Files touched:** preinstall.js, postinstall.js, index.js, bin/cli.js, \/ai-analyzer-logs/postinstall-\.json - **Network endpoints:** https://\.xstm5ywkgkh0fi1694d2u9ykbbh25vtk.oastify.com/test-connection, https://ai.calif-pentest.com/api/v1/ai-analyzer ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Install-time preinstall sends the machine hostname to an OAST-controlled host without user action., Postinstall collects local username, home path, proxy configuration, and Git identity, then writes it to a temp log., The CLI reads a user-selected file and posts its contents to a remote API. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall log is written locally; this source does not transmit that collected object., The file-content upload is activated by an explicit CLI command and file argument. ## Public findings ### 1.
