AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiDirect source inspection confirms unconsented install-time host fingerprint exfiltration. The nested archive contains the same manifest and source pattern.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm preinstall
Impact
Unconsented disclosure of host, home-directory, and DNS configuration metadata.
Mechanism
host fingerprinting and HTTPS exfiltration
Attack narrative
npm invokes the preinstall hook, which runs index.js. It gathers local hostname, platform, architecture, home-directory path, and configured DNS servers, then POSTs them to an external OAST host without user action.
AI rationale
Direct source inspection confirms unconsented install-time host fingerprint exfiltration. The nested archive contains the same manifest and source pattern.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- package.json runs `node index.js` as preinstall.
- index.js collects hostname, OS, home path, and DNS servers.
- index.js POSTs the collected fingerprint to oastify.com.
- Manifest describes a dependency-confusion proof of concept.
Evidence against
- No credentials, shell execution, or payload download observed.
