## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm installation automatically executes credential and host-data collection. The data is sent to a fixed third-party webhook.

- **Trigger:** Installing autbank-core through npm, which runs preinstall and postinstall.

- **Impact:** Exposure of environment credentials, .env content, repository metadata, host identity, username, and working directory.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, preinstall.js, postinstall.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T16:27:19.472Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** install-time environment and file harvesting followed by HTTPS POST exfiltration

- **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, package.json launches preinstall.js. That script selects credential-like environment variables, reads .env and package.json, obtains Git remote metadata, and posts the aggregate to a fixed webhook.site endpoint. postinstall.js provides a backup exfiltration path for host identity and working-directory data. Both errors are suppressed and the lifecycle commands use || true, reducing visible installation failures.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete, automatic install-time credential and host-data exfiltration to an unrelated fixed endpoint. The behavior is not required by the package’s placeholder runtime library.

- **Files touched:** preinstall.js, postinstall.js, .env, package.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://webhook.site/34e76ae9-12e2-4fea-a33a-24f4e1ac5eb2

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Install hooks run preinstall.js and postinstall.js during npm installation., preinstall harvests environment variables whose names suggest credentials., preinstall reads a local .env file and runs git remote -v., Harvested data is POSTed to a fixed webhook.site URL., postinstall independently sends host, user, and working-directory data to the same endpoint.

- **Evidence against:** The runtime index.js only exposes a placeholder init function; it does not mitigate install-time behavior.
