AI Security Review
scanned 16h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection confirms an automatic preinstall disclosure of hostname, home-directory, and username data to a fixed collector. This is an unconsented installation beacon, so the package should be blocked.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing fanarena-common and its dependency.
Impact
Installation can expose these machine and user identifiers to the collector without installer consent.
Mechanism
The dependency's preinstall runs test.js, which hex-encodes the hostname, home directory, and username and embeds each value in an HTTP request hostname.
Attack narrative
Installing the package installs a remote dependency whose preinstall hook runs test.js. That file hex-encodes the hostname, home directory, and username, then sends requests to a fixed oastify.com subdomain containing each value. The dependency's request implementation performs HTTP requests to those URLs, creating automatic installation-time disclosure.
AI rationale
Source inspection confirms an automatic preinstall disclosure of hostname, home-directory, and username data to a fixed collector. This is an unconsented installation beacon, so the package should be blocked.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package installs a remote ltidisafe tarball, which declares a preinstall hook that runs test.js.
- The hook encodes the machine hostname, home directory, and username, then sends each value in a request to a fixed oastify.com subdomain.
- The dependency's download-speed function performs an HTTP request to the supplied URL, enabling install-time disclosure to that collector.
