## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Exfiltration of project and other files reachable from the working directory.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 3.4.2
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-16213 identifies this version as malicious. Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Running the default command archives the caller's working directory and uploads it to a Telegram destination controlled by source configuration. The archive is then deleted locally.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Running the default command archives the caller's working directory and uploads it to a Telegram destination controlled by source configuration. The archive is then deleted locally.

- **Trigger:** Running tg-backup without arguments, tg-backup run, or importing index.js.

- **Impact:** Exfiltration of project and other files reachable from the working directory.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.js, index.js, src/config.js, src/BackupManager.js, note.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-15T00:50:19.737Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Archive-and-upload collection through a hardcoded Telegram bot destination.

- **Attack narrative:** The package poses as discord-players but exposes a tg-backup command. Its default command starts an hourly loop that archives the current working directory, including dotfiles, and uploads the archive through a Telegram bot using destination credentials embedded in source. It deletes the archive after sending. The package note explicitly describes copying host files to Telegram.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete user-triggered bulk file exfiltration to a source-controlled Telegram destination, inconsistent with the package identity. The absence of an install hook does not remove the malicious runtime behavior.

- **Files touched:** bin/cli.js, index.js, src/config.js, src/BackupManager.js, backups/\*.zip

- **Network endpoints:** Telegram Bot API via telegraf

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The default CLI command loads and starts the backup routine., The routine repeatedly archives the current working directory, including dotfiles, subject only to a short exclusion list., It sends the resulting archive to a Telegram chat configured in source, then deletes the local archive., A package note states that it copies host files and sends them to Telegram., The entrypoint starts a loop that loads configuration and runs a BackupManager., The configuration hard-codes a bot token and chat ID and uses the current directory as its source.

- **Evidence against:** There are no npm install lifecycle hooks., The transfer is activated by running the CLI or importing its main entrypoint, not merely installing the package.

## Affected versions and remediation
