AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This package performs unconsented remote code execution during preinstall and persists it through cron. This is concrete malware behavior, not a logging feature. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-28T22:56:36.332Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-28T22:57:00.267Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 10 ms - **AI review time:** 23419 ms - **Total time:** 23935 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 automatically downloads and executes a remote shell script. It also establishes recurring cron persistence. - **Trigger:** npm installation, before the package is installed. - **Impact:** An attacker controlling the remote host can run arbitrary commands as the installing user and retain periodic execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T22:57:00.267Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time remote shell execution and cron persistence. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the preinstall command invokes curl for a script hosted at 216.126.236.46 and pipes it directly to Bash. It then modifies the current user's crontab to repeat that download and execution every 30 minutes. Both operations suppress errors. The harmless logger export does not prevent this independent install-time execution chain. - **Rationale:** This package performs unconsented remote code execution during preinstall and persists it through cron. This is concrete malware behavior, not a logging feature. - **Files touched:** package.json, /bin/bash, crontab - **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 downloads and pipes a remote shell script into Bash., The same hook adds a cron job that reruns the remote script every 30 minutes., Errors are suppressed, which conceals failed download and persistence attempts. - **Evidence against:** The runtime entry point only exports console logging functions. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to grafeno-logger@1.0.0. - Avoid installing grafeno-logger@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.
