AI Security Review

Source inspection confirms local-data transmission to hard-coded third-party Telegram destinations plus broad automatic postinstall mutation. Although the network actions require named CLI commands, the hard-coded reporting and executable configuration make this package unsafe.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Running the backup, publish, or build CLI commands; project mutations occur automatically at postinstall.

Impact

Project configuration and identifying build metadata can be disclosed to a package-controlled third party; installation also changes project and dependency state.

Mechanism

Uploads local project data and host metadata through shell-based Telegram requests.

Attack narrative

Installation immediately runs a script that rewrites the consumer project and patches installed dependencies. Separately, named CLI backup and build or publish paths use hard-coded Telegram destinations to transmit configuration files, workstation identity, and build or publisher metadata. These transfers are not directed to a user-configured destination and use shell commands. The CLI can also execute code supplied in project configuration during publishing.

AI rationale

Source inspection confirms local-data transmission to hard-coded third-party Telegram destinations plus broad automatic postinstall mutation. Although the network actions require named CLI commands, the hard-coded reporting and executable configuration make this package unsafe.
