Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The service receives the installer's public network address during installation. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 45.3.4 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The preinstall hook performs an automatic network disclosure to a publisher-selected service, with no source-level consent gate. The fixed lookup value and package description explain the API's function but do not establish consent to disclose the installer's network address during installation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T11:09:38.057Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T11:10:54.393Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 20 ms - **AI review time:** 75808 ms - **Total time:** 76336 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:** Installation automatically sends a request to realwbx.com, exposing the installer's public network address to the service without a separate user action. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the preinstall script, which executes index.js. - **Impact:** The service receives the installer's public network address during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T11:10:54.393Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** index.js makes an HTTPS GET request for a fixed IP lookup and includes a hardcoded Authorization header. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the preinstall hook executes index.js, which sends an HTTPS request to realwbx.com with a hardcoded Authorization header. Although the lookup uses a fixed public IP and aligns with the package's stated IP-information function, the install-time request also discloses the installer's public network address without a separate action or consent boundary. - **Rationale:** The preinstall hook performs an automatic network disclosure to a publisher-selected service, with no source-level consent gate. The fixed lookup value and package description explain the API's function but do not establish consent to disclose the installer's network address during installation. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** realwbx.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The preinstall hook automatically runs index.js during installation., index.js sends an HTTPS GET request to realwbx.com with a hardcoded Authorization header., The install-triggered request looks up the fixed address 8.8.8.8, while the request also exposes the installer's public network address to the service. - **Evidence against:** The package describes itself as providing IP information, and the endpoint performs an IP lookup. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to buyerdashboard@45.3.4. - Avoid installing buyerdashboard@45.3.4. 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.
