AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiDirect source inspection confirms a concrete install-time data-exfiltration chain. The package should be blocked.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
`npm install` / lifecycle `postinstall`
Impact
Leaks local username, hostname, IPv4 address, and installation path to a third party.
Mechanism
install-time host fingerprinting and HTTPS exfiltration
Attack narrative
During npm installation, the `postinstall` hook launches `index.js`. The script enumerates network interfaces, reads the current username, hostname, and `INIT_CWD` or current directory, serializes those values, and POSTs them to an external `webhook.site` endpoint. This is unconsented install-time host fingerprinting with no package functionality to justify it.
AI rationale
Direct source inspection confirms a concrete install-time data-exfiltration chain. The package should be blocked.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- `package.json` runs `node index.js` in `postinstall`.
- `index.js` collects username, hostname, IPv4 address, and install working directory.
- `index.js` POSTs the collected host data to a `webhook.site` URL automatically.
- The network request runs at module top level with no user action or consent.
Evidence against
- Only `package.json` and `index.js` are present; no declared benign functionality.
- No child-process execution, persistence, or destructive file operations were found.
