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. Installing the package triggers an unconsented HTTP request that transmits host-identifying and project-location data. The package has no implemented billing client functionality. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-10T04:04:32.534Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-10T04:05:00.524Z - **Download time:** 276 ms - **Static scan time:** 8 ms - **AI review time:** 27705 ms - **Total time:** 27990 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:** Installing the package triggers an unconsented HTTP request that transmits host-identifying and project-location data. The package has no implemented billing client functionality. - **Trigger:** npm installation, before dependency installation completes - **Impact:** Leaks the hostname, operating-system username, and consumer project path to a remote host. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, preinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-10T04:05:00.524Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** preinstall-time system metadata exfiltration over HTTP - **Attack narrative:** The npm preinstall lifecycle hook runs preinstall.js automatically. That script obtains the host name, local user name, and current working directory, incorporates them into a URL, and performs an HTTP GET to 209.126.81.147. The empty main module does not provide the claimed billing-client behavior, and suppressed errors make the outbound collection unobtrusive. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, automatic install-time data exfiltration unrelated to the stated package purpose. It should be blocked. - **Files touched:** package.json, preinstall.js - **Network endpoints:** http://209.126.81.147/etoro-depconf-poce346552f776f/npm/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The preinstall hook automatically runs preinstall.js during npm installation., The installer sends the machine hostname, local username, and current working directory to an external HTTP host., Errors are deliberately suppressed, allowing the install to finish after the outbound request fails. - **Evidence against:** The runtime entrypoint exports an empty object and contains no benign billing implementation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to etoro-billing@999.0.0. - Avoid installing etoro-billing@999.0.0. 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.
