## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm preinstall bootstraps a Bun runtime and executes an obfuscated payload. The payload handles GitHub credentials and evaluates remotely received code.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package with lifecycle scripts enabled.

- **Impact:** Credential theft and arbitrary code execution in the installing user's environment.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js, lib/index.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:50:44.792Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** install-time obfuscated credential collection and remote code evaluation

- **Attack narrative:** On installation, preinstall executes setup.mjs. It uses an existing Bun binary or downloads a Bun release, then runs math\_init.js. That 727KB obfuscated file contains token-oriented logic, network requests, and eval of a returned response, creating an install-time path to steal GitHub credentials and run attacker-controlled code.

- **Rationale:** The benign Babel entrypoint is accompanied by an unrelated install-time bootstrap that executes a concealed payload. The payload's credential handling and remote eval establish concrete malicious behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node setup.mjs\` as preinstall., setup.mjs downloads/executes Bun, then runs math\_init.js during install., math\_init.js is heavily obfuscated and contains remote-response eval plus GitHub token handling (\`ghtoken\`, \`ghs\_old\`, \`ghs\_jwt\`)., math\_init.js invokes its concealed workflow at module load.

- **Evidence against:** lib/index.js is a conventional Linaria-to-undefined Babel transform., README.md describes only the benign Babel-plugin behavior.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
