Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Installing the package invokes concealed code before normal installation. That code performs credential-oriented collection, network dispatch, and detached-process execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T11:37:24.831Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T11:38:19.962Z - **Download time:** 522 ms - **Static scan time:** 701 ms - **AI review time:** 53908 ms - **Total time:** 55131 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package invokes concealed code before normal installation. That code performs credential-oriented collection, network dispatch, and detached-process execution. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the preinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** Credentials and environment-derived access tokens can be exposed, and the installer can persist beyond the package-manager process. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T11:38:19.962Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated install-time credential collection and network dispatch with detached process spawning. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, npm runs \`bun run index.js\`. The invoked file is a large, one-line obfuscated program rather than CLI setup code. Static inspection shows credential and token discovery logic, HTTP requests, detached child-process spawning, temporary state handling, and broad error suppression. Its final routine runs automatically and exits successfully, making the behavior silent to the installer. A separate postinstall hook also downloads remote specifications into the user configuration cache. - **Rationale:** The automatic preinstall execution of concealed credential- and network-capable code is concrete malicious install-hook behavior. Readable CLI functionality and the package-aligned spec cache do not account for the opaque preinstall payload. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, dist/lib/spec-cache.js, dist/lib/spec-fetcher.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The preinstall hook automatically runs a 499 KB deliberately obfuscated index.js file through Bun., The obfuscated preinstall code collects credentials, makes network requests, spawns a detached child process, and suppresses errors before exiting successfully., The separate postinstall hook fetches remote specifications and writes them into the user configuration directory. - **Evidence against:** The distributed CLI modules are mostly readable and implement the stated API CLI functions., The readable postinstall cache refresh has a package-related endpoint and a local fallback. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to blueai-cli@0.7.0. - Avoid installing blueai-cli@0.7.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
