## 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:** 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.
