## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Install-time script harvests local system identifiers and exfiltrates them through DNS queries. No user command is required beyond package installation.

- **Trigger:** npm installation, before normal package installation completes

- **Impact:** Leaks the installing user's username, host name, and working directory to an external domain.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, preinstall.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-27T20:54:36.369Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** DNS-based exfiltration from a preinstall hook

- **Attack narrative:** On installation, the preinstall hook executes preinstall.js. It obtains the local username, hostname, and current working directory, serializes and hex-encodes them, then places the data in DNS subdomain labels and invokes dns.lookup against an external domain. The hook suppresses failures, making the activity quiet.

- **Rationale:** This is unconsented install-time collection and DNS exfiltration of host data, not a package-aligned setup action. The concrete lifecycle-triggered network behavior warrants blocking.

- **Files touched:** package.json, preinstall.js

- **Network endpoints:** d9jfvjgl8o8s72utl810ktk61s1xmsysr.o.jgl.red

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node preinstall.js\` during installation., preinstall.js collects username, hostname, and current working directory., preinstall.js hex-encodes collected data into DNS lookup labels., DNS lookups send chunks to \`d9jfvjgl8o8s72utl810ktk61s1xmsysr.o.jgl.red\`., Errors are silently suppressed.
