Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Install hooks automatically run reconnaissance and transmit it to external endpoints.

This is a concrete install-time data-exfiltration surface. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall or postinstall. - **Impact:** An installer exposes identifying system and project reconnaissance to an external operator without a user action. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, callback.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T00:02:39.816Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** callback.js collects host, user, directory, CI/cloud, network, environment-name, and file-presence metadata, then sends it by HTTPS and DNS. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes callback.js before and after installation. The script inventories potentially sensitive environment-variable names, checks for configuration and credential-related files, and gathers machine, user, working-directory, home-directory, CI, cloud, and network metadata. It sends the resulting message to Telegram, suppressing errors, and attempts a DNS callback as a backup channel. - **Rationale:** Automatic lifecycle execution performs unsolicited host and project reconnaissance and transmits it externally. The package's research claim does not remove this concrete install-time exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** .env, .npmrc, .git/config, .docker/config.json, credentials, secrets.json - **Network endpoints:** api.telegram.org, dc-callback.example.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest automatically runs callback.js during both preinstall and postinstall., The callback inventories environment-variable names matching credential-related patterns., The callback identifies sensitive project and configuration files and assembles host, user, home-directory, CI, cloud, and network metadata., It sends the assembled message to Telegram and also performs a DNS callback containing encoded host information. - **Evidence against:** The code appears to collect environment-variable names rather than their values, but it still exports substantial host and project reconnaissance automatically. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to commerce-materials@1.0.0. - Avoid installing commerce-materials@1.0.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
