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 automatically runs an obfuscated payload. The payload collects credentials and project data, then sends or uses them through external services. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T11:43:50.843Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T11:44:37.021Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 918 ms - **AI review time:** 44749 ms - **Total time:** 46178 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The payload collects credentials and project data, then sends or uses them through external services. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes the preinstall hook. - **Impact:** Repository, cloud, npm, and GitHub credentials and associated project data may be exposed or abused. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T11:44:37.021Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated install-time credential harvesting and outbound automation. - **Attack narrative:** The manifest invokes index.js before installation completes. Direct inspection shows that file is a large obfuscated payload rather than the declared i18n CLI. Its visible code includes environment and credential handling, filesystem reads, GitHub API requests, detached child-process spawning, and a top-level execution call. These behaviors are unrelated to translation extraction and run without a user command. - **Rationale:** An automatic preinstall hook launches a deliberately obscured payload with concrete credential and outbound automation capabilities. This is malicious install-hook abuse. - **Files touched:** index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package runs index.js automatically in a preinstall hook., index.js is a 499 KB deliberately obfuscated program, unlike the published i18n CLI sources., The install payload contains credential discovery, GitHub API access, filesystem collection, detached process spawning, and outbound dispatch logic., The documented CLI entry point instead loads the small dist/index module. - **Evidence against:** The normal bin entry point is a conventional i18n command-line interface., dist/utils/getLang.js uses dynamic code only to load a user-selected locale JavaScript file. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to bmc-i18n-extract-cli@1.1.1. - Avoid installing bmc-i18n-extract-cli@1.1.1. 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.
