## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm preinstall downloads and runs an obfuscated payload. The payload includes credential-oriented collection logic and remote code evaluation.

- **Trigger:** npm install (preinstall)

- **Impact:** Potential credential theft and arbitrary remote code execution during installation.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:48:21.161Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote bootstrap executes obfuscated payload with dynamic eval

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes setup.mjs. It downloads a Bun binary from GitHub if needed and runs math\_init.js. That large obfuscated payload contains child-process use, cloud/token-related handling, network requests, and eval of a response body, enabling attacker-controlled code to run during installation and potentially collect credentials.

- **Rationale:** The install hook is a concealed loader for an obfuscated payload with credential-related behavior and remote code evaluation. This is concrete malicious install-time execution, not functionality aligned with a CircleCI orb.

- **Files touched:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/download/bun-v1.3.13/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs setup.mjs in preinstall., setup.mjs downloads Bun then executes math\_init.js., math\_init.js is 728KB obfuscated executable payload., math\_init.js reads cloud/token-related data and uses child\_process., math\_init.js evaluates code obtained from a network response.

- **Evidence against:** README and src/ contain an otherwise ordinary CircleCI orb.
