It reads sensitive files and environment variables, then sends collected data to external receivers. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes postinstall; requiring the main module also schedules the collector. - **Impact:** Disclosure of SSH, cloud, package-manager, AI, and environment secrets plus host metadata. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T16:52:04.741Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Delayed credential harvesting and HTTP/HTTPS exfiltration. - **Attack narrative:** During postinstall, index.js schedules a delayed routine outside test, CI, and container environments. The routine reads credential files and sensitive environment variables, serializes them, and sends host information to Telegram while posting the full encoded collection to an external IP address. The same routine also runs whenever the module is imported. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete automatic credential-exfiltration payload with environment evasion and external transmission. The package's advertised utility exports do not account for this behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, ~/.npmrc, ~/.git-credentials, ~/.ssh, ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.kube/config, ~/.docker/config.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 runs index.js automatically and suppresses failures., Importing index.js schedules delayed collection of user and host data., The code reads package-manager, Git, SSH, cloud, AI, container, and database credential files and matching environment variables., Collected data is base64-encoded and sent to a Telegram host and a separate IP address., The source labels the target as a new victim, consistent with credential theft. - **Evidence against:** The exported API is a small inert-looking utility surface., The collector exits in test, CI, and container environments, indicating evasion rather than a legitimate runtime need. ## Public findings ### 1.
