Its corresponding server-side settlement code can transfer approved funds. - **Trigger:** User runs \`moltspay init --chain bnb\` or \`--chain bnb\_testnet\`. - **Impact:** The fixed spender can drain approved token balances independently of per-payment limits. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/cli/index.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T15:52:28.363Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic MaxUint256 token approvals to a fixed spender - **Attack narrative:** On explicit BNB wallet initialization, the CLI selects a package-hardcoded spender and automatically submits unlimited USDC and USDT approvals. The BNB facilitator includes transferFrom settlement using the configured server key. Although payment intents are validated in the normal path, an unlimited allowance to a fixed third-party address permits that address to transfer tokens without those client-side spending limits or payment confirmation. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a concrete wallet-drain primitive: automatic unlimited approvals to a fixed address, paired with transferFrom capability. The install hook is not the attack path, but the user-invoked CLI flow is sufficient to expose funds. - **Files touched:** dist/cli/index.js, ~/.moltspay/wallet.json - **Network endpoints:** https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org, https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.binance.org:8545 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/cli/index.js hardcodes a default BNB spender address., \`init --chain bnb\` automatically calls approval setup for that address., Approval setup grants MaxUint256 for USDC and USDT., BNB settlement can call transferFrom using the spender key. - **Evidence against:** The approval is reached through an explicit CLI init command, not postinstall., BNB settlement checks signed payment intent recipient and amount., Postinstall only invokes the declared Alipay helper CLI. ## Public findings ### 1.
