AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is concrete, unconsented install-time collection and exfiltration of local host data to an unrelated external endpoint.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm preinstall during package installation
Impact
Exposes host identity, home-directory path, and configured DNS servers to a third party.
Mechanism
preinstall host fingerprinting and HTTPS exfiltration
Attack narrative
On installation, the preinstall hook executes index.js. It gathers local host metadata and DNS configuration, then POSTs it to an external OAST domain. The package’s own description identifies a dependency-confusion proof of concept, and its included archive repeats the code.
AI rationale
This is concrete, unconsented install-time collection and exfiltration of local host data to an unrelated external endpoint.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- package.json runs `node index.js` in preinstall.
- index.js collects hostname, platform, architecture, home directory, and DNS servers.
- index.js POSTs the collected host data to an OAST endpoint.
- package.json describes the package as a dependency-confusion proof of concept.
- Nested archive contains the same preinstall exfiltration code.
Evidence against
- No shell execution, payload download, or file modification was found.
