## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm preinstall executes a telemetry beacon without user action. It reads host and consuming-project metadata, then sends it through DNS and HTTP(S) to a fixed external callback.

- **Trigger:** npm installation (preinstall)

- **Impact:** Exposes username, home path, hostname, network addresses, install directory, and consuming-project identity/metadata to a third party.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T10:57:40.596Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** install-time host/project metadata collection and DNS/HTTP exfiltration

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package triggers its preinstall hook. The hook reads system and consuming-project metadata, obtains public and resolver-derived network information, encodes the collected JSON into DNS labels sent to its fixed callback, and POSTs the same data over HTTPS and HTTP. This is an unconsented dependency-confusion-style installation beacon and concrete data exfiltration.

- **Rationale:** The package executes automatically during installation and exports identifiable host, network, path, and project metadata to a fixed third-party callback. Its stated research purpose does not remove the unconsented exfiltration behavior.

- **Files touched:** index.js, package.json, INIT\_CWD/package.json

- **Network endpoints:** da51rv0hb2uc72tg4gvgdepinjcallbk1.oast.fun, https://api.ipify.org, https://icanhazip.com, https://ifconfig.me/ip, o-o.myaddr.l.google.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** preinstall automatically executes index.js., Collects host, username, home path, local/public IPs, working directory, and consuming-project metadata., Encodes the collected JSON into DNS queries to an attacker callback., Also POSTs the collected data to the callback over HTTPS and HTTP.

- **Evidence against:** No child-process execution, payload download, or file writes were found., The source does not read credentials or arbitrary file contents, but it still exfiltrates sensitive host and project metadata.
