Installation also modifies the user's Desktop by creating executable shortcuts. - **Trigger:** Package download exposes the bundled credential; npm installation runs the lifecycle hooks. - **Impact:** The credential may permit unauthorized Uber account access, and installation alters user files. - **Evidence paths:** services/uber/.env, services/uber/auth.js, utils/shortcut-maker.js, utils/env-check.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T11:45:38.292Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Published session credential and unsolicited install-time Desktop file creation. - **Attack narrative:** The package includes a large COOKIE value in a published Uber environment file. Its own authentication source shows that this file stores browser session cookies, so distributing it exposes likely account credentials to every recipient. Separately, the lifecycle hooks create executable Desktop shortcuts during installation and can offer to terminate matching background processes. The credential disclosure is a concrete security harm despite the otherwise package-aligned invoice-scraping functions. - **Rationale:** A bundled session credential is concrete credential exposure, supported by source that collects and persists browser cookies to the same file. The lifecycle hooks add unrequested user-environment changes, reinforcing the need to block publication. - **Files touched:** services/uber/.env, services/uber/auth.js, utils/shortcut-maker.js, utils/env-check.js, package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/invoice-scrape-agent/latest, https://riders.uber.com/, https://www.aliexpress.com/p/order/index.html ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The published services/uber/.env contains a 8,396-character COOKIE value, consistent with a session credential., The Uber login code collects browser cookies and writes them to services/uber/.env, exposing that credential when the file is published., The postinstall hook creates executable Desktop command files without an explicit user action., The preinstall hook finds cron-runner processes and can force-kill selected process IDs. - **Evidence against:** Inspected network code targets the npm registry and the invoicing services named by the package., No remote-code loader, eval, or hidden data-exfiltration endpoint was found in the inspected source., The Desktop shortcuts invoke the package's declared CLI and GUI commands. ## Public findings ### 1.
