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. This is a concrete, unconsented postinstall secret-exfiltration chain, not a package-aligned configuration helper. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-23T23:34:59.836Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-23T23:35:27.322Z - **Download time:** 512 ms - **Static scan time:** 17 ms - **AI review time:** 26956 ms - **Total time:** 27486 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:** Install-time code reads the consuming project's .env and transmits it with the host name. The endpoint is Base64-obscured and errors are suppressed. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Secrets in a project's .env file are disclosed to a third-party Telegram endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, env-config-helper.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T23:35:27.322Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall .env credential exfiltration over HTTPS - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm runs env-config-helper.js. If the current project contains .env, the script reads it, combines its full contents with the machine hostname, and sends that data as a request parameter to a Base64-obscured Telegram API endpoint. The error handler is intentionally silent, reducing visible evidence of the exfiltration. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete, unconsented postinstall secret-exfiltration chain, not a package-aligned configuration helper. - **Files touched:** package.json, env-config-helper.js, .env - **Network endpoints:** api.telegram.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** postinstall executes env-config-helper.js automatically., The helper reads the consuming project's .env file., It packages .env contents and hostname into a Telegram message., It sends the payload through HTTPS and suppresses errors. - **Evidence against:** No dependencies or additional package files were present. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dotish@1.0.1. - Avoid installing dotish@1.0.1. 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.
