AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The newly added remote-tarball dependency executes a preinstall hook that collects local identifiers and public network details, then sends them to a dynamically supplied external host. This is install-time data exfiltration without installer consent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T23:09:41.189Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T23:10:06.195Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 5 ms - **AI review time:** 24746 ms - **Total time:** 25006 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:** A dependency's preinstall hook collects machine and network details and exfiltrates them during installation. - **Trigger:** Installing dependencykfeg causes its remote-tarball dependency's preinstall hook to run. - **Impact:** Installation exposes the user's username, hostname, home directory, working directory, platform, and public network details to an externally selected host. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-3841afff-d6e8-47f8-8ea5-23cbbad66170/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-3841afff-d6e8-47f8-8ea5-23cbbad66170/0/npm-linux/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T23:10:06.195Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook fetches a destination hostname from a GitHub file, gathers local identifiers and public IP details using shell commands and ipinfo.io, then posts the data over HTTPS. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the package pulls a dependency from a remote tarball whose preinstall hook runs automatically. The hook obtains a destination from a GitHub-hosted file, collects user and machine identifiers plus public IP details, and sends them in an HTTPS POST to that destination. - **Rationale:** The newly added remote-tarball dependency executes a preinstall hook that collects local identifiers and public network details, then sends them to a dynamically supplied external host. This is install-time data exfiltration without installer consent. - **Files touched:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-3841afff-d6e8-47f8-8ea5-23cbbad66170/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-3841afff-d6e8-47f8-8ea5-23cbbad66170/0/npm-linux/index.js - **Network endpoints:** raw.githubusercontent.com/GamerD11/ping\_test/main/burp\_collaborator.txt, ipinfo.io/json, Host returned by burp\_collaborator.txt:443/ (dynamic) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package adds a dependency from a remote GitHub tarball URL., That dependency runs index.js as a preinstall hook when installed., The hook collects the username, hostname, home directory, working directory, platform, and public IP and network organization details., The hook sends the collected data by HTTPS POST to a host fetched from a GitHub file. - **Evidence against:** The package's own index.js only exports an empty object. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dependencykfeg@25.1.3. - Avoid installing dependencykfeg@25.1.3. 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.
