AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Direct source inspection confirms concrete install-time data collection and exfiltration. The benign main entrypoint does not mitigate the malicious lifecycle behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-28T08:18:52.418Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-28T08:19:06.538Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 7 ms - **AI review time:** 13857 ms - **Total time:** 14120 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:** Installing the package automatically executes reconnaissance and environment harvesting. The collected data is exfiltrated to an external OAST host. - **Trigger:** npm install, via postinstall - **Impact:** Exposure of CI/environment variables, host details, network configuration, and cloud-metadata reachability. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T08:19:06.538Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time shell-based environment collection and HTTP exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** During installation, package.json invokes postinstall.js. That script runs shell commands to gather host, CI, process, network, and filtered environment data, probes cloud metadata endpoints, encodes the results, and transmits them to a third-party OAST domain. This is unconsented install-time reconnaissance and exfiltration unrelated to the stated utility. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms concrete install-time data collection and exfiltration. The benign main entrypoint does not mitigate the malicious lifecycle behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.js, index.js - **Network endpoints:** http://metadata.tencentyun.com/latest/meta-data/, http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/, http://pzs5w7ntzhsnepwk564lyfdci3oucl0a.oastify.com/z?d=$data ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json runs postinstall.js during npm install., postinstall.js executes a shell command via child\_process.exec., It collects hostname, user, process, CI, network and environment data., It probes Tencent and AWS metadata endpoints., It base64-encodes collected data and sends it to an OAST host. - **Evidence against:** index.js contains only local color/number utility functions., No evidence of package-aligned telemetry or user opt-in. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to json-to-table-util@1.0.0. - Avoid installing json-to-table-util@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.
