Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The remote server receives identifying host and project location data without the installer's consent. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 1.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. Both install lifecycle hooks transmit the username, hostname, and working directory to a researcher server without installer consent. This is malicious install-time data exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T05:35:41.463Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T05:36:00.201Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 9 ms - **AI review time:** 18478 ms - **Total time:** 18738 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:** Install-time exfiltration of user, host, and project path data. - **Trigger:** npm runs either the preinstall or postinstall lifecycle script. - **Impact:** The remote server receives identifying host and project location data without the installer's consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T05:36:00.201Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Each script sends the username, hostname, and current working directory in an HTTP GET request. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the package's preinstall and postinstall scripts each send the username, hostname, and current working directory to 38.242.235.206. The README confirms this beacon behavior. This is unauthorized install-time collection and transmission of host and project data. - **Rationale:** Both install lifecycle hooks transmit the username, hostname, and working directory to a researcher server without installer consent. This is malicious install-time data exfiltration. - **Network endpoints:** http://38.242.235.206/depconf/internal-renderers/preinstall, http://38.242.235.206/depconf/internal-renderers/postinstall ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Both preinstall and postinstall scripts send HTTP GET requests to 38.242.235.206 with the username, hostname, and current working directory., The README confirms the install scripts send those host and project details to a researcher server. - **Evidence against:** The README describes the package as a defensive placeholder and says it contains no functional code beyond the beacon. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to internal-renderers@1.0.0. - Avoid installing internal-renderers@1.0.0. 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.
