AI Security Review
scanned 19h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s postinstall hook automatically contacts an unrelated beacon endpoint, behavior unrelated to its stated configuration-normalization purpose. The inspected request carries no explicit data, so this is install_hook_abuse rather than data exfiltration.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- The package runs scripts/install.js automatically through a postinstall hook.
- The install hook calls beacon.emit, which makes an HTTPS GET request to https://my-contolled-backend/beacon.
- The beacon hostname is assembled from split string fragments, and the request is unrelated to configuration normalization.
- The package README describes a configuration merging utility; the install request carries no package feature data in the inspected source.
- The beacon request sends no explicit payload in the inspected source.
- The main entry point implements recursive object merging and does not initiate network activity.
