No integrity verification is present in the installer. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** A party controlling the remote response or redirect chain can obtain code execution during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T06:59:38.122Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook downloads a native module, saves it in native/, and loads it with Node.js require. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook fetches a platform-specific native module through gh-proxy.com and then loads it. This is automatic installation-time remote native-code execution without an integrity check, making the proxy and redirect chain a code-execution authority over installing projects. - **Rationale:** The package contains an active install-time remote payload execution chain, rather than a user-invoked download. This warrants blocking because the downloaded native code is executed automatically without cryptographic verification. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.js, native/jsql-neo-native.node - **Network endpoints:** https://gh-proxy.com/, https://github.com/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package runs postinstall.js automatically during installation., The install script downloads a platform-native module through gh-proxy.com into the package native path., The installer loads that native module with require and invokes the download path automatically. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to jsql-neo@6.0.0. - Avoid installing jsql-neo@6.0.0. 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.
