It queries npm and installs a newer package version, which may run that version's install hooks. - **Trigger:** A consumer imports or requires index.js while a newer maruf-fca version exists. - **Impact:** Unconsented dependency mutation, process termination, and execution of future package lifecycle code. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, checkUpdate.js, lib/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T22:12:45.209Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic registry-driven npm installation and consumer manifest rewrite. - **Rationale:** The package has no install hook, but its import-time automatic updater mutates a consumer project and installs remote code without consent. This is a concrete high-risk remote execution path, though the updater is limited to its own package name. - **Files touched:** package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/maruf-fca/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Importing the main module automatically starts an update check without user confirmation., A newer registry version causes npm install in the consumer project, rewrites its dependency version, and exits the process., The package ships stripped native libraries that its E2EE path loads., It retrieves remote image-service keys and can upload caller-provided image data to third parties. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook., The automatic updater targets only maruf-fca and compares semantic versions from the npm registry., The image upload functions send only data explicitly passed to them., Most network calls implement the declared Facebook chat API. ## Public findings ### 1.
