It transmits host-identifying metadata to an attacker-controlled subdomain. - **Trigger:** npm install or requiring the package entrypoint - **Impact:** Leaks username, hostname, working-directory name, and timestamp to a remote DNS operator. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, lib/core.js, lib/b02e30.js, lib/6ad264.js, src/network.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-23T10:15:17.882Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** obfuscated DNS exfiltration of local host metadata - **Attack narrative:** The install hook invokes index.js, which silently requires lib/core.js; normal imports do the same. That module decodes its dependencies and builds a DNS label containing a fixed marker, OS username, hostname, cwd basename, timestamp, and oob.sl4x0.xyz, then calls dns.resolve4. This is covert, unconsented exfiltration rather than package utility behavior. - **Rationale:** Concrete obfuscated host-metadata collection and DNS exfiltration run automatically at install and import. The exported utilities do not justify this hidden beacon. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, lib/core.js, lib/b02e30.js, lib/6ad264.js - **Network endpoints:** oob.sl4x0.xyz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node index.js\` on install., index.js silently loads lib/core.js at import/install., lib/core.js collects OS username, hostname, cwd basename, and timestamp., lib/core.js sends collected values in a DNS A-record query., lib/b02e30.js hides the exfiltration domain with character codes. - **Evidence against:** No file writes, shell execution, or payload download found., src/network.js requests are exported user-invoked utilities. ## Public findings ### 1.
