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. Runtime error reporting transmits exception text and license-related machine telemetry to an external endpoint. This is not performed by the install hook. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T11:42:26.333Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T11:43:43.000Z - **Download time:** 1287 ms - **Static scan time:** 372 ms - **AI review time:** 75007 ms - **Total time:** 76667 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

This is not performed by the install hook. - **Trigger:** A Hypertube runtime exception occurs. - **Impact:** A license key, hostname, operating system, and exception content can leave the host. - **Evidence paths:** Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/exception/ExceptionThrower.py, Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/messageHelper/MessageHelper.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T11:43:43.000Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic telemetry posts license and host data. - **Attack narrative:** When its runtime handles an exception, it sends the exception text to its telemetry helper. The helper reads the current license key and host metadata, places them in a JSON payload, and posts it to a hard-coded external telemetry endpoint. This exports a credential-like value and potentially sensitive application error content without a user-controlled reporting action. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete runtime path that exports license keys, host metadata, and exception text to a third-party endpoint. The benign local build-only install hook does not offset this data-exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/exception/ExceptionThrower.py, Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/messageHelper/MessageHelper.py - **Network endpoints:** https://polandcentral-0.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/v2/track ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Runtime exception handling sends exception text to telemetry., Telemetry builds a payload containing the hostname, operating system, license key, and message., The payload is posted to a hard-coded Azure Application Insights endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only checks for a prebuilt addon or invokes node-gyp locally., The JavaScript entrypoint contains no credential harvesting or network request logic., No source evidence shows persistence or destructive project changes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to hypertube-binaries@3.1.12. - Avoid installing hypertube-binaries@3.1.12. 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.
