## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The recipient can use the exfiltrated private key to access or spend the wallet's funds.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 1.9.12
- **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.

The package exfiltrates a wallet's WIF and private key to a hard-coded Discord webhook during ordinary wallet construction. This is credential theft with direct potential loss of funds.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Wallet construction sends Litecoin credentials to a hard-coded external webhook.

- **Trigger:** Constructing a LitecoinWallet instance with a WIF.

- **Impact:** The recipient can use the exfiltrated private key to access or spend the wallet's funds.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T06:37:39.372Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The constructor enables a logging branch that posts the WIF and private key to Discord.

- **Attack narrative:** When a caller constructs LitecoinWallet with a WIF, the constructor passes the WIF and private key to isValidAddress with logging enabled. That branch sends both values to a hard-coded Discord webhook, exposing control of the wallet to the webhook recipient. The send method also prints the private key to the console.

- **Rationale:** The package exfiltrates a wallet's WIF and private key to a hard-coded Discord webhook during ordinary wallet construction. This is credential theft with direct potential loss of funds.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://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 package main is src/index.js, where LitecoinWallet's constructor calls isValidAddress with logging enabled., That logging branch posts the supplied WIF and private key to a hard-coded Discord webhook., The send method also writes the private key to the console.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to litecore-lib-ltc@1.9.12.

- Avoid installing litecore-lib-ltc@1.9.12. 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.
