It sends command output, environment data, npm files, and local-service discoveries to an external receiver. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes the postinstall lifecycle script. - **Impact:** Exposure of environment credentials, npm configuration, system/account data, process data, project metadata, and local service presence. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T00:28:16.508Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time command execution, file harvesting, localhost probing, and HTTP exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, postinstall runs index.js. The script executes reconnaissance commands, collects all environment variables and project metadata, reads npm configuration and logs when present, probes common localhost ports, and POSTs collected values to a fixed external OAST host. This is concrete unconsented credential and host-data exfiltration. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms an install-time exfiltration chain with command execution, credential-adjacent file reads, and a fixed external HTTP receiver. This is malicious behavior, not a legitimate package function. - **Files touched:** index.js, package.json, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, $HOME/.npmrc, $HOME/.npm/\_logs - **Network endpoints:** ywy8qnd4a931ga4v74k70b9g67c00qof.oastify.com:80 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall executes index.js automatically., index.js executes system commands and POSTs their output to an external host., It collects all environment variables and host identity., It reads npm credentials/logs and attempts to exfiltrate them., It probes localhost ports and reports open services. - **Evidence against:** No package-aligned functionality explains the install-time collection and exfiltration. ## Public findings ### 1.
