axon-web@12.0.0
Web utilities module
AI Security Review
scanned 9d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest points consumers to index.js, where package loading triggers an identifying DNS lookup to an unrelated OAST domain. This supports a data exfiltration finding and a publish block.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
Requiring the package entrypoint.
Impact
The recipient can learn identifying host and user information from the lookup.
Mechanism
The entrypoint combines the hostname and user account, then embeds them in a DNS query name.
Attack narrative
Requiring the package automatically sends the hostname and user account in a DNS lookup to an OAST domain. This is unrelated to the declared web utilities purpose and has no visible user consent guard.
AI rationale
The manifest points consumers to index.js, where package loading triggers an identifying DNS lookup to an unrelated OAST domain. This supports a data exfiltration finding and a publish block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The manifest makes index.js the package entrypoint.
- When loaded, index.js builds a DNS name from the machine hostname and user account, then resolves it at an OAST domain.
