The package ships an apparent Uber session cookie and performs an unconsented postinstall Desktop-shortcut mutation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T04:39:00.549Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T04:40:08.042Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 936 ms - **AI review time:** 66050 ms - **Total time:** 67493 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious execution chain was found. The package ships an apparent Uber session cookie and performs an unconsented postinstall Desktop-shortcut mutation. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; a user later invokes its invoice/auth workflows - **Impact:** Bundled session material may expose the account it belongs to; postinstall alters the user's Desktop. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, services/uber/.env, utils/shortcut-maker.js, services/uber/fetcher.js, utils/update-checker.js, services/email/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T04:40:08.042Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Desktop launcher creation and local invoice/account credential automation - **Rationale:** Source inspection found a sensitive bundled artifact and install-time filesystem side effect, but no concrete malicious behavior or credential-exfiltration route. Warn so the published credential and invasive lifecycle behavior are addressed. - **Files touched:** services/uber/.env, utils/shortcut-maker.js, utils/env-check.js, services/uber/fetcher.js, services/uber/auth.js, services/email/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://riders.uber.com/, https://registry.npmjs.org/invoice-scrape-agent/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** services/uber/.env ships a COOKIE value (redacted; 8,396 characters)., postinstall runs utils/shortcut-maker.js, which writes executable Desktop launchers. - **Evidence against:** utils/shortcut-maker.js only creates package-named GUI/CLI shortcuts and icons., utils/env-check.js only checks local runtime dependencies., services/uber/fetcher.js automates riders.uber.com invoice retrieval; no exfiltration path found., utils/update-checker.js contacts only npm registry for version checks., Credential handling in email and Uber auth is user-invoked and stored locally., No AI-agent control-surface writes, remote code loading, eval, or destructive behavior found. ## Public findings ### 1.
