No confirmed data-exfiltration or remote-payload chain was found. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall/postinstall - **Impact:** Unconsented user-environment modification and executable launcher placement. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, utils/env-check.js, utils/shortcut-maker.js, utils/paths.js, utils/update-checker.js, services/uber/auth.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T17:45:59.906Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time environment probing and Desktop shortcut creation - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete unconsented install-time mutation of the user Desktop, warranting a warning. Its observed network and credential operations are aligned with explicit invoice-scraping and authentication features. - **Files touched:** utils/env-check.js, utils/shortcut-maker.js, assets/set\_icon.m, assets/set\_icon, $HOME/Desktop/BDB\_Invoice\_GUI.command, $HOME/Desktop/BDB\_Invoice\_CLI.command ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall automatically., utils/shortcut-maker.js writes executable Desktop launchers during install., utils/shortcut-maker.js compiles and executes assets/set\_icon on macOS., utils/env-check.js executes Python version probes in preinstall. - **Evidence against:** No lifecycle network or credential-exfiltration code found., Runtime network targets are invoice-provider sites and npm registry., Credential storage is used for user-invoked IMAP/Uber authentication., Scheduler and update commands require explicit CLI/GUI actions. ## Public findings ### 1.
