This report shows the evidence for alloy-graphql@1.0.1, the only known version.
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an automatic install-time data-exfiltration payload with no package functionality beyond collection and transmission. The hardcoded external receiver and sensitive local-file reads establish malicious intent.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
npm installation invokes the preinstall hook.
Impact
Exposes host identity, DNS configuration, and contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts.
Mechanism
Install-time host-data collection and HTTPS exfiltration.
Attack narrative
When npm installs the package, its preinstall hook runs index.js. The script gathers host and user identifiers, DNS server settings, and readable contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, serializes them, and posts them to a fixed external host.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The preinstall hook automatically runs index.js during installation.
- The install script collects the home directory, hostname, username, DNS servers, and contents of local system files.
- It sends the collected data in an HTTPS POST request to a hardcoded external host.
