Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The webhook operator can observe installation-triggered contact without the installer's consent; the inspected request does not include host, user, project, or credential data. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse - **Selected version:** 1.1.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest runs a hook that automatically contacts a hard-coded Discord webhook without installer consent. The payload is a fixed notification rather than sensitive data, so this is install-hook abuse rather than data exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T00:22:57.592Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T00:23:17.732Z - **Download time:** 253 ms - **Static scan time:** 11 ms - **AI review time:** 19876 ms - **Total time:** 20140 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:** The install hook automatically contacts a hard-coded Discord webhook. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the preinstall lifecycle script. - **Impact:** The webhook operator can observe installation-triggered contact without the installer's consent; the inspected request does not include host, user, project, or credential data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, preinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T00:23:17.732Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** preinstall.js POSTs a fixed test notification to the embedded webhook, then records the outcome locally. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the preinstall hook sends a fixed test notification to a hard-coded Discord webhook without installer consent. The request does not contain credentials or machine or project details, but it creates unsolicited contact with an external collector. - **Rationale:** The manifest runs a hook that automatically contacts a hard-coded Discord webhook without installer consent. The payload is a fixed notification rather than sensitive data, so this is install-hook abuse rather than data exfiltration. - **Files touched:** .preinstall-marker.json - **Network endpoints:** https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1566215853794394162/xsqpEbSn-cc3DU2AKWdzqWnXX5hjTfV-gUePQZ4evrHGlZctMd40TKCrN42qnJd7moc1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package runs preinstall.js automatically during installation., preinstall.js contains a fixed Discord webhook URL., The hook POSTs a fixed notification to that webhook without requiring installer consent., The hook writes a local .preinstall-marker.json file with the notification result. - **Evidence against:** The POST body contains a fixed test message, not environment variables, credentials, or project data., The README describes this as a private test fixture and says it should not be published or distributed with its embedded webhook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to calculator-preinstall-hook-demo@1.1.1. - Avoid installing calculator-preinstall-hook-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.
