Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The endpoint receives an unsolicited installation-time request and can observe the installer's network address. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 78.8.1 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The install hook triggers an outbound request to a hardcoded endpoint and discloses the installer's network address without installer consent. The mismatch between the package identity and its IP-lookup behavior supports blocking this installation beacon despite the lookup-oriented description. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T10:47:45.632Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T10:48:52.022Z - **Download time:** 768 ms - **Static scan time:** 39 ms - **AI review time:** 65582 ms - **Total time:** 66390 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:** Installation automatically runs an IP lookup against a hardcoded endpoint. The package name indicates face capture, while its description and lookup behavior concern IP metadata; the request exposes the installer's network address to that endpoint. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm. - **Impact:** The endpoint receives an unsolicited installation-time request and can observe the installer's network address. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T10:48:52.022Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The preinstall hook runs index.js, which makes an HTTPS request to realwbx.com for a fixed IP and includes a hardcoded authorization header. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the preinstall hook runs a fixed IP lookup against realwbx.com. The endpoint also receives the installer's network address. The lookup resembles the package description, but the package's face-capture identity does not explain why installation needs to contact this endpoint. - **Rationale:** The install hook triggers an outbound request to a hardcoded endpoint and discloses the installer's network address without installer consent. The mismatch between the package identity and its IP-lookup behavior supports blocking this installation beacon despite the lookup-oriented description. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://realwbx.com/ip.php ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The preinstall hook runs index.js automatically during installation., index.js sends an HTTPS request to realwbx.com with a hardcoded authorization header., The automatic call queries a fixed public IP, so the endpoint also receives the installer's network address without a user action. - **Evidence against:** The package description presents IP location and metadata lookup as its function, and the request queries an IP address. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to idlive-face-capture-web-development@78.8.1. - Avoid installing idlive-face-capture-web-development@78.8.1. 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.
