The destination is obscured in source but decodes to a remote Vercel host. - **Trigger:** Importing the package entry point, including application startup. - **Impact:** Credential theft and arbitrary code execution in the importing process. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, lib/initializeCaller.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T15:01:06.889Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Environment exfiltration followed by remote JavaScript execution. - **Attack narrative:** The entry point loads an initializer during import. That initializer posts a copy of process environment variables to an obscured remote endpoint, then passes the response body to Function and runs it with require access. This gives the remote service control of code running in every process that imports the package. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete credential-exfiltration and remote-code-execution chain activated by ordinary package use. Lack of an install hook does not mitigate the import-time attack. - **Files touched:** index.js, lib/initializeCaller.js - **Network endpoints:** https://ipcheck-hashed.vercel.app/api/auth/6c1d60d35852ef0c05df ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Importing the package immediately loads its hidden initializer., The initializer sends the entire process environment to a Base64-obscured remote endpoint., It executes the server response as JavaScript with access to require., The manifest has no lifecycle hook; the attack instead triggers on normal import. - **Evidence against:** No install, preinstall, or postinstall script is declared., The inspected initializer shows no local file deletion or AI-agent configuration changes. ## Public findings ### 1.
