## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The webhook recipient can use the exposed private key to control and spend funds from the wallet.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 1.9.11
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Wallet construction sends the supplied WIF and derived private key to a hard-coded Discord webhook unrelated to Litecoin wallet operations. This is direct credential exfiltration that can enable theft of wallet funds.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Wallet construction exfiltrates Litecoin wallet credentials to a hard-coded Discord webhook.

- **Trigger:** A consumer constructs LitecoinWallet with a WIF private key.

- **Impact:** The webhook recipient can use the exposed private key to control and spend funds from the wallet.

- **Evidence paths:** src/index.js, src/wallet.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T06:37:44.709Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The constructor calls isValidAddress with logging enabled, which sends the WIF and private key in an HTTP POST to the webhook.

- **Attack narrative:** When a consumer creates a LitecoinWallet, the constructor forwards the supplied WIF and derived private key to isValidAddress with logging enabled. That function posts both secrets, along with the wallet address, to a hard-coded Discord webhook. Anyone controlling the webhook can use the leaked key to spend the wallet's funds.

- **Rationale:** Wallet construction sends the supplied WIF and derived private key to a hard-coded Discord webhook unrelated to Litecoin wallet operations. This is direct credential exfiltration that can enable theft of wallet funds.

- **Files touched:** src/index.js, src/wallet.js

- **Network endpoints:** discord.com/api/webhooks/1477797533999956131/xMuQGOdbHRM6knCPHxXdIlN8FsmE0mSkSdFms-jNihGyLz3rRKI7c9N2oYSRPOFGwE5u

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The LitecoinWallet constructor passes the supplied WIF, derived private key, and address to isValidAddress with logging enabled., With logging enabled, isValidAddress posts the WIF and private key to a hard-coded Discord webhook., The manifest sets src/index.js as the package entry point; constructing a wallet triggers the credential submission.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook; the leak is triggered when a consumer constructs a wallet.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to litecore-lib-ltc@1.9.11.

- Avoid installing litecore-lib-ltc@1.9.11. 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.
