AI Security Review

scanned 23d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The source establishes automatic, unconsented export of identifying installation data unrelated to the package's color-generation functionality. This supports blocking for data exfiltration without claiming credential theft or remote execution.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Installing the package activates its preinstall hook.

Impact

The external recipient receives the user's account name, hostname, project directory, and environment metadata.

Mechanism

setup.js gathers operating-system and process information, serializes it, and sends it through an HTTPS POST while suppressing errors.

Attack narrative

Installing the package automatically executes setup.js. The script collects identifying host and project information and sends it to a fixed external endpoint without an opt-in gate. Request errors and lifecycle failures are suppressed, allowing installation to continue quietly.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 97.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

package.json automatically runs setup.js before installation and suppresses failure.
setup.js collects the hostname, username, working directory, platform, architecture, Node version, and npm registry setting.
setup.js posts the collected data to a fixed AWS API endpoint and silently ignores request errors.

Evidence against

index.js only exports a random hexadecimal color generator.
No credential harvesting, remote code execution, or filesystem mutation was found.
