## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Leaks installing user's name, hostname, working directory, local IPv4 addresses, and environment context.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 99.9.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Direct source inspection confirms unconsented install-time host-fingerprint exfiltration. This is concrete malicious behavior, not a package-aligned feature.

## Latest scan

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** On npm installation, the package executes index.js without user interaction. It fingerprints the host and exfiltrates identity and network data to a remote endpoint.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Leaks installing user's name, hostname, working directory, local IPv4 addresses, and environment context.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T10:11:38.122Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** install-time host fingerprint collection and HTTPS exfiltration

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes its postinstall hook, which runs index.js. The script obtains the current username through whoami, gathers hostname, current working directory, and non-loopback IPv4 addresses, encodes them into query parameters, and sends them to an external oastify.com endpoint.

- **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms unconsented install-time host-fingerprint exfiltration. This is concrete malicious behavior, not a package-aligned feature.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://xghhv5sajm33m7krgi4n8my0mrsig84x.oastify.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** package.json runs \`node index.js\` in postinstall., index.js collects username, hostname, cwd, and non-loopback IPv4 addresses., index.js executes \`whoami\` and sends collected values via HTTPS., Exfiltration target is an unrelated oastify.com host.

- **Evidence against:** No additional source files or payload stages were present.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to ghazaly@99.9.0.

- Avoid installing ghazaly@99.9.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
