AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically discloses host and user identifiers to an external collector during installation without installer consent. This supports blocking the package.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The package's postinstall lifecycle hook runs.
Impact
The collector receives identifying information from the installing environment.
Mechanism
The hook executes index.js, which reads host identity data and posts it to nathanaccacio.com/collect without a consent check.
Attack narrative
During installation, the postinstall hook runs code that collects the local username and hostname, then sends them to an external collector. The source shows no consent check for this disclosure.
AI rationale
The package automatically discloses host and user identifiers to an external collector during installation without installer consent. This supports blocking the package.
