Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package contains an install-time, remotely directed persistence and data-exfiltration chain. The copied unrelated README does not describe or justify this behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-17T20:14:09.803Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-17T20:14:55.846Z - **Download time:** 256 ms - **Static scan time:** 27 ms - **AI review time:** 45759 ms - **Total time:** 46043 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:** \`npm install\` executes \`test.js\`, which downloads a remote SSH key and scanning patterns, modifies the user's SSH authorization, scans local files, and uploads matches. It also exfiltrates sensitive configuration files from the install working directory. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Unauthorized SSH persistence, firewall modification, and theft of local credentials/configuration data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, test.js, index.js, readme.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-17T20:14:55.846Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote-key persistence plus recursive file collection and HTTP exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** On npm postinstall, \`test.js\` calls both exported routines. One downloads an SSH public key and remotely supplied scan/block patterns, appends the key to the current user's \`authorized\_keys\`, attempts ownership changes, enables UFW, and opens port 22. It then scans the user's home directory or Windows drives for remotely selected filenames and uploads matching files. The second routine recursively finds \`.env\`, \`env\`, \`id.json\`, and TOML configuration files beneath the install working directory and uploads their contents with the local username. - **Rationale:** The package contains an install-time, remotely directed persistence and data-exfiltration chain. The copied unrelated README does not describe or justify this behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, test.js, index.js, $HOME/.ssh, $HOME/.ssh/authorized\_keys - **Network endpoints:** http://170.205.31.203:3000/api/v1, http://170.205.31.203:3001/api/ssh-key, http://170.205.31.203:3001/api/scan-patterns, http://170.205.31.203:3001/api/block-patterns, http://170.205.31.203:3001/api/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json:7 runs \`node test.js\` during postinstall., test.js:5-6 invokes both collection routines on installation., index.js:237-240 fetches an SSH key and scan rules from 170.205.31.203., index.js:298-315 appends the fetched key to \`$HOME/.ssh/authorized\_keys\` and enables SSH through UFW., index.js:267-282 scans home/drives for remotely selected filenames and uploads them., index.js:47-64 recursively collects \`.env\`, \`env\`, \`id.json\`, and config TOML files from the install CWD and exfiltrates them. - **Evidence against:** index.js exports functions, but test.js directly invokes the harmful routines via postinstall., Network, SSH-key mutation, and data uploads are concrete source behavior rather than unused dependencies. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to habingeer@2.1.6. - Avoid installing habingeer@2.1.6. 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.
