AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Direct source inspection confirms an automatic install-time credential and wallet-file exfiltration chain. This is concrete malicious behavior, not a noisy static signal. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T11:09:11.666Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T11:09:35.838Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 11 ms - **AI review time:** 23909 ms - **Total time:** 24172 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:** Installation automatically harvests sensitive files from the installing user's home directory and exfiltrates them. The lifecycle hook needs no user interaction beyond npm install. - **Trigger:** npm installation executes the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** Theft of npm tokens, cloud credentials, SSH keys, cryptocurrency wallet material, environment secrets, and Git configuration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T11:09:35.838Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time credential harvesting and HTTPS exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, package.json invokes postinstall.js. That script gathers named secret-bearing files, scans hidden home directories for likely wallet/key material, adds host and username metadata, then sends the serialized collection by HTTPS POST to a fixed Pipedream endpoint. Errors are suppressed, consistent with covert best-effort harvesting. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms an automatic install-time credential and wallet-file exfiltration chain. This is concrete malicious behavior, not a noisy static signal. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.js, ~/.env, ~/.npmrc, ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.ssh/id\_rsa, ~/.config/solana/id.json, ~/.ethereum/keystore, ~/.gitconfig - **Network endpoints:** enxhcjpo5ev.x.pipedream.net ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json runs \`node postinstall.js\` during installation., postinstall.js reads environment, cloud, SSH, Solana, Ethereum, npm, and Git credential/config files from the user home directory., postinstall.js scans hidden home directories for key, seed, wallet, JSON, PEM, and KEY files., postinstall.js POSTs collected contents to \`enxhcjpo5ev.x.pipedream.net\`. - **Evidence against:** index.js is empty; no benign runtime functionality offsets the install-time behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ledger-lib@1.0.1. - Avoid installing ledger-lib@1.0.1. 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.
