## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation downloads and executes an unpinned external Bun binary, which runs the bundled obfuscated payload. The payload collects credentials and sends data over the network.

- **Trigger:** npm preinstall

- **Impact:** Compromises credentials and local developer data during dependency installation.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:48:18.272Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote runtime bootstrap and credential-exfiltration payload execution

- **Attack narrative:** npm preinstall invokes setup.mjs, which either uses an installed Bun or downloads Bun from GitHub and executes math\_init.js. That bundled, highly obfuscated payload contains credential-token collection logic and network upload behavior, enabling theft during installation.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete install-time execution of an obfuscated credential-stealing payload, not a package-aligned build helper. The bootstrapper makes execution occur without a user command.

- **Files touched:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js, /tmp/bun-dl-\*

- **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 at preinstall., setup.mjs downloads Bun from github.com and executes math\_init.js., math\_init.js is a 728KB heavily obfuscated Bun payload., Payload references GitHub token collection paths (ghtoken, ghs\_old, ghs\_jwt) and HTTP uploads., Payload imports child\_process, fs, os and uses temporary files.
