AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package pulls a remote tarball dependency whose preinstall hook automatically collects user, host, project path, and public network details and sends them to a dynamically fetched collaborator endpoint. 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:** 2026-10-29T22:07:51.359Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T22:08:14.265Z - **Download time:** 264 ms - **Static scan time:** 37 ms - **AI review time:** 22604 ms - **Total time:** 22906 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 dependency's install hook exfiltrates host, user, project-directory, and public network details. - **Trigger:** Installing this package invokes the dependency's preinstall hook. - **Impact:** The destination receives identifying details about the installer and its environment without consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-922e4c50-819f-4a9c-86e9-94b3aaad2428/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-922e4c50-819f-4a9c-86e9-94b3aaad2428/0/npm-linux/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T22:08:14.265Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook fetches a destination hostname from a GitHub-hosted text file, gathers local and public IP/ASN data, then sends it in an HTTPS POST. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the dependency's preinstall script retrieves a collaborator hostname and gathers the installer’s username, hostname, home and working directories, runtime details, and public IP/ASN information. It posts those details to the fetched destination over HTTPS, without installer consent. - **Rationale:** The package pulls a remote tarball dependency whose preinstall hook automatically collects user, host, project path, and public network details and sends them to a dynamically fetched collaborator endpoint. This is install-time data exfiltration. - **Network endpoints:** raw.githubusercontent.com, ipinfo.io, hostname fetched at install time from raw.githubusercontent.com/GamerD11/ping\_test/main/burp\_collaborator.txt ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package depends on node-acct-utils through a remote GitHub tarball URL., That dependency runs index.js in its preinstall hook., The hook fetches a collaborator hostname and collects the username, hostname, and current working directory; it also queries ipinfo.io for public IP and ASN details., It places these machine and network details in a JSON payload and POSTs the payload to the fetched hostname over HTTPS. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dependencykfeg@25.0.3. - Avoid installing dependencykfeg@25.0.3. 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.
