This report shows the evidence for cilm-ui-commons@1.1.0, the only known version.
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiDirect source inspection confirms an install-time HTTPS exfiltration chain. The package has no apparent functional implementation beyond collecting and transmitting host data.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
npm preinstall
Impact
Leaks local user, home-directory, hostname, DNS, path, and package metadata to an external collector.
Mechanism
install-time host fingerprinting and HTTPS exfiltration
Attack narrative
On npm preinstall, package.json runs index.js. The script collects the local home directory, hostname, username, DNS resolvers, package metadata, and its installation directory, URL-encodes the data, and POSTs it to a fixed Pipedream collector. This is unconsented install-time host fingerprinting and exfiltration, with no legitimate package functionality present.
AI rationale
Direct source inspection confirms an install-time HTTPS exfiltration chain. The package has no apparent functional implementation beyond collecting and transmitting host data.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- package.json executes index.js during preinstall.
- index.js collects home directory, hostname, username, DNS servers, and manifest data.
- The collected data is POSTed to a fixed Pipedream endpoint during installation.
Evidence against
- Only two package files exist; no legitimate library implementation was found.
- No evidence of file deletion, shell execution, or payload download.
