The behavior is hidden behind obfuscated helper modules and swallowed errors. - **Trigger:** npm install invokes \`node index.js\`. - **Impact:** Leaks local username, hostname, project-directory basename, and timestamp to an attacker-controlled DNS suffix. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, lib/core.js, lib/6ad264.js, lib/b02e30.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-23T10:15:19.637Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated DNS-based host metadata exfiltration. - **Attack narrative:** The install hook executes index.js, which imports lib/core.js. That module decodes OS, DNS, and process APIs, gathers a username, hostname, and current working-directory basename, then embeds them with a timestamp in a DNS query beneath oob.sl4x0.xyz. Errors are suppressed, making the exfiltration quiet. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, unconsented install-time metadata exfiltration concealed by obfuscation, not a package-aligned utility feature. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, lib/core.js, lib/6ad264.js, lib/b02e30.js - **Network endpoints:** oob.sl4x0.xyz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node index.js\` during install., index.js silently imports \`./lib/core\` on install and normal import., lib/core.js collects OS username, hostname, and current-directory basename., lib/core.js exfiltrates collected values via DNS \`resolve4\`., lib/b02e30.js hides the \`oob.sl4x0.xyz\` DNS suffix with character-code decoding., README.md falsely claims no network requests while hidden code performs DNS traffic. - **Evidence against:** No file writes, shell execution, or payload download found., src/ modules are ordinary utility exports; the malicious behavior is isolated in hidden lib code. ## Public findings ### 1.
