Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Installing the package starts a network-accessible command-execution service. Any party able to reach port 41111 can submit shell commands and receive their output. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-15T02:51:47.087Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-15T02:52:17.849Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 11 ms - **AI review time:** 30490 ms - **Total time:** 30762 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Any party able to reach port 41111 can submit shell commands and receive their output. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall. - **Impact:** Remote code execution as the installing user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-15T02:52:17.849Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall imports an entrypoint that exposes unauthenticated HTTP command execution. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall lifecycle hook loads index.js automatically. That module opens an HTTP listener on all interfaces. Its POST handler reads JSON field c and passes it directly to child\_process.exec, returning stdout and stderr to the caller. This creates an unauthenticated remote shell under the installer’s account. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete install-time remote-code-execution backdoor, not functionality required by the stated n8n health-monitor node. The listener is exposed on all interfaces and has no authentication. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.js, index.js - **Network endpoints:** 0.0.0.0:41111 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Its automatic postinstall hook imports the main entrypoint, which starts a server during installation., The entrypoint binds an unauthenticated HTTP server to all interfaces and executes a POST-supplied command with child\_process.exec. - **Evidence against:** The n8n node implementation itself only returns its input data., No external URL or credential harvesting code was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to n8n-nodes-healthmon@1.0.0. - Avoid installing n8n-nodes-healthmon@1.0.0. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
