The package suppresses routine errors, so these actions are attempted without user interaction. - **Trigger:** npm installation (postinstall) - **Impact:** Exfiltrates local configuration files and can grant a remote SSH key access while enabling port 22. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, test.js, index.js, readme.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-26T13:20:17.170Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote-configured file exfiltration and SSH authorized-key persistence - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs test.js automatically. It calls routines that upload configuration and environment files, fetch attacker-controlled scan patterns and an SSH key from a fixed IP, recursively collect matching files from the user home/drives, and upload them. On Linux it adds the downloaded key to authorized\_keys and enables firewall access to SSH. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms unconsented install-time exfiltration and remote-access persistence. This is concrete malicious behavior, not a package-aligned feature. - **Files touched:** package.json, test.js, index.js, $HOME/.ssh/authorized\_keys, process.cwd()/\*\*/{id.json,config.toml,Config.toml,env,.env}, os.homedir()/\*\* - **Network endpoints:** http://95.216.118.146:3000/api/v1, http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/ssh-key, http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/scan-patterns, http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/block-patterns, http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node test.js\` on postinstall., test.js invokes both malicious routines during installation., index.js recursively uploads cwd \`id.json\`, TOML, and env files to 95.216.118.146:3000., index.js downloads an SSH key, scans home/drives, and uploads matched files to port 3001., index.js appends the remote key to \`$HOME/.ssh/authorized\_keys\` and enables SSH through UFW., readme.md describes an unrelated TS API project. ## Public findings ### 1.
