The collected data is transmitted to external receivers. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T16:41:12.020Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T16:41:48.302Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 56 ms - **AI review time:** 35716 ms - **Total time:** 36282 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation runs code that harvests local credentials and secret-like environment variables. The collected data is transmitted to external receivers. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall; importing index.js also starts the delayed routine. - **Impact:** Exposure of source-control, cloud, AI, SSH, and environment credentials. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T16:41:48.302Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Credential harvesting followed by outbound HTTP requests. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook runs index.js automatically. Its delayed routine reads credential-bearing files, SSH private keys, cloud configuration, and environment variables whose names indicate secrets. It serializes the collection and posts it to Telegram and an external IP endpoint. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete automatic install-time credential-exfiltration chain, not package-aligned setup. The package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, ~/.npmrc, ~/.git-credentials, ~/.ssh, ~/.aws/credentials - **Network endpoints:** api.telegram.org, 2.26.82.63:8888 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook automatically runs the entrypoint., The entrypoint reads credential files and sensitive environment variables., It sends the collected payload to Telegram and an unrelated IP address. ## Public findings ### 1.
