It harvests project and host data, executes reconnaissance commands, probes localhost, and exfiltrates results. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Disclosure of environment variables, npm credentials, project configuration, host identity, command output, and local service presence. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, build/payload.node.js, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T14:35:21.297Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** delayed C2-backed credential and host-data exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** On installation, postinstall launches build/payload.node.js. The payload skips CI, audit, and container environments, delays execution, then POSTs host and project data to a configurable C2. It reads project configuration files, every environment variable, and the user npm configuration; it also executes system/npm reconnaissance and scans selected localhost ports. A lock file limits repeat execution. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, stealth-oriented install-time credential and data exfiltration with no legitimate functional purpose. Block publication. - **Files touched:** package.json, build/payload.node.js, ../.ran, package.json, package-lock.json, .env, src/config.ts, src/config.js, ~/.npmrc - **Network endpoints:** https://random-name.trycloudflare.com, 127.0.0.1:3000, 127.0.0.1:5000, 127.0.0.1:8000, 127.0.0.1:8080, 127.0.0.1:443 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Postinstall executes payload automatically., Payload evades CI/container analysis., It sends collected data to a configurable C2., It reads project configs, environment, and ~/.npmrc., It runs shell commands and probes localhost ports. - **Evidence against:** index.js only exports platform metadata., No legitimate package functionality is present beyond metadata. ## Public findings ### 1.
