AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is a concrete unconsented install-time network beacon that exports host identity to an unrelated hard-coded endpoint. It has no stated package functionality beyond the placeholder README. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-25T15:10:06.187Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-25T15:10:28.502Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 6 ms - **AI review time:** 21806 ms - **Total time:** 22315 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 beacon exfiltrates the installing machine's hostname to a hard-coded external endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm package installation, via postinstall. - **Impact:** Unconsented host-identifying data disclosure during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, beacon.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T15:10:28.502Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall HTTP hostname beacon - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm executes beacon.js through postinstall. The script obtains os.hostname() and places it in an HTTP GET query to a hard-coded IP address. Errors are suppressed, making the beacon silent to the installer. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented install-time network beacon that exports host identity to an unrelated hard-coded endpoint. It has no stated package functionality beyond the placeholder README. - **Files touched:** package.json, beacon.js - **Network endpoints:** http://169.58.96.170:9001/cb ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json runs beacon.js automatically in postinstall., beacon.js collects the host name and sends it to a hard-coded remote IP during installation. - **Evidence against:** No additional package files or functionality were present. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ecobee2@0.0.2. - Avoid installing ecobee2@0.0.2. 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.
