The payload performs network operations, evaluates fetched code, and contains credential-token handling. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall - **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code execution and potential credential exfiltration on the installing machine. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:09:29.348Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time staged payload execution with remote eval and token harvesting - **Attack narrative:** On npm preinstall, setup.mjs obtains or invokes Bun and runs the bundled obfuscated math\_init.js. That payload contains network fetches whose response text is evaluated, executes child processes, and includes handling for GitHub token forms and AWS-related material. This provides a concrete install-time remote-code and credential-theft chain. - **Rationale:** The package's advertised example source does not justify an obfuscated install-time runtime downloader or the bundled credential-aware, remotely evaluated payload. This is concrete malicious behavior, not a scanner-only similarity finding. - **Files touched:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/download/bun-v1.3.13/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json preinstall runs setup.mjs., setup.mjs downloads Bun from github.com and executes math\_init.js during install., math\_init.js is a 728 KB obfuscated payload., math\_init.js fetches network response text and passes it to eval., math\_init.js references ghtoken, ghs\_old, ghs\_jwt and .aws while constructing network requests., math\_init.js imports child\_process and executes spawned commands. - **Evidence against:** The visible src/js-example files are simple example exports., setup.mjs's disclosed download host is github.com/oven-sh/bun. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.
