AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe remote dependency’s automatic preinstall collects identifying system data and sends it to an unrelated OAST host. This verified installation-time disclosure warrants blocking publication.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- The package depends on a remote tarball whose manifest runs a preinstall script.
- That script encodes the machine username, hostname, and home directory, then sends requests using those values to an OAST host.
- The dependency performs an HTTP request to the constructed destination, making the identifying data disclosure active during installation.
