Installation fetches and installs an unverified remote executable. Invoking the CLI executes that fetched binary; its behavior is not present for source review.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

npm install runs postinstall; running hotlane invokes the binary.

Impact

A compromised or replaced release artifact could execute arbitrary code as the installing user.

Mechanism

postinstall remote binary download, extraction, and execution shim

Rationale

No concrete malicious behavior is visible in the JavaScript source, but its install-time unverified executable fetch is a real staged-payload risk. Warn rather than block because the endpoint and behavior are package-aligned and no malicious chain is shown.
