AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The root package installs a dependency whose preinstall hook contacts an embedded external webhook without installer consent. Although the request contains only a fixed message, the automatic unrelated install-time contact is malicious install-hook abuse. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T06:36:11.938Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T06:36:43.871Z - **Download time:** 556 ms - **Static scan time:** 5 ms - **AI review time:** 31371 ms - **Total time:** 31933 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:** A transitive install hook makes an unauthorized request to an embedded Discord webhook. - **Trigger:** Installing the root package with dependency scripts enabled triggers the dependency’s preinstall hook. - **Impact:** Installation contacts an unrelated external webhook without installer consent; the inspected request does not include host or user data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-81439576-fbd0-4838-8bce-5b24e9934a2a/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-81439576-fbd0-4838-8bce-5b24e9934a2a/0/npm-linux/preinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T06:36:43.871Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook sends a fixed notification by POST to the webhook and writes a local status marker. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm runs the transitive dependency’s preinstall hook. It posts a fixed test message to an embedded Discord webhook without installer consent, then records the result in a local marker file. The inspected request does not transmit host or user data. - **Rationale:** The root package installs a dependency whose preinstall hook contacts an embedded external webhook without installer consent. Although the request contains only a fixed message, the automatic unrelated install-time contact is malicious install-hook abuse. - **Files touched:** .lpm-dependency-evidence-81439576-fbd0-4838-8bce-5b24e9934a2a/0/npm-linux/.preinstall-marker.json - **Network endpoints:** https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1566215853794394162/xsqpEbSn-cc3DU2AKWdzqWnXX5hjTfV-gUePQZ4evrHGlZctMd40TKCrN42qnJd7moc1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The root package installs calculator-preinstall-hook-demo@1.1.1., That dependency runs preinstall.js as an npm preinstall hook., The hook posts to an embedded Discord webhook during installation., The POST body is a fixed test notification, unrelated to the package’s calculator purpose. - **Evidence against:** The inspected request contains no hostname, username, project details, environment values, or file contents., The hook writes a local status marker; the root package has no lifecycle script of its own. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to calculator-preinstall-chain-demo@1.1.1. - Avoid installing calculator-preinstall-chain-demo@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.
