## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation automatically executes a credential-harvesting payload. The payload reads local secrets and selected environment variables, then exfiltrates them to external receivers.

- **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall hook; importing index.js also activates the delayed routine.

- **Impact:** Exposure of SSH, Git, cloud, AI-provider, package-manager, and environment credentials.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T16:44:53.610Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Delayed credential harvesting and HTTP exfiltration.

- **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, package.json runs index.js. Its import-time routine waits five to fifteen seconds, reads credential files and sensitive environment variables from the user's home directory, serializes them into a base64 payload, and sends that payload to Telegram and an HTTP collector at 2.26.82.63.

- **Rationale:** This is an unconsented install-time credential theft and exfiltration payload. The postinstall trigger makes the attack reachable without any package API call.

- **Files touched:** ~/.npmrc, ~/.git-credentials, ~/.ssh/\*, ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.config/gcloud/application\_default\_credentials.json, ~/.azure/accessTokens.json, ~/.kube/config, ~/.docker/config.json, ~/.terraform.d/credentials.tfrc.json, ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml, ~/.netrc, ~/.vercel/auth.json

- **Network endpoints:** api.telegram.org, http://2.26.82.63:8888/collect

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook automatically runs index.js., Importing index.js starts a delayed collection routine outside test and container environments., The routine reads package-manager, Git, SSH, cloud, and developer credential files from the home directory., It collects environment variables whose names indicate tokens, keys, passwords, cloud credentials, and sessions., Collected data is base64 encoded and sent to an external Telegram receiver., The same payload is also posted to 2.26.82.63.
