Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package's preinstall hook automatically sends the installer's current working directory to an external host. This is install-time data exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T17:27:03.213Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T17:27:19.877Z - **Download time:** 250 ms - **Static scan time:** 5 ms - **AI review time:** 16408 ms - **Total time:** 16664 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The install hook sends the installer's working directory to an external host without consent. - **Trigger:** Package installation, when npm runs the preinstall script. - **Impact:** Exposes the installer's current directory, which can reveal local project or user information. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T17:27:19.877Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** wget requests http://google.com/ with the output of pwd in the user query parameter. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the preinstall hook sends the current working directory to google.com as a query parameter. This discloses local path information without the installer's consent. - **Rationale:** The package's preinstall hook automatically sends the installer's current working directory to an external host. This is install-time data exfiltration. - **Network endpoints:** http://google.com/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The preinstall script automatically runs wget with the current working directory in a query parameter sent to http://google.com. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dependencykfee-2@1.5.5. - Avoid installing dependencykfee-2@1.5.5. 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.
