The request is concealed by swallowing failures. - **Trigger:** An explicit invocation of the npx-oob-package CLI. - **Impact:** Discloses the executing account name, hostname, platform, and package name to the callback operator. - **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30T17:43:33.117Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Host fingerprint collection and external POST exfiltration. - **Attack narrative:** When invoked, the CLI determines the current account name and gathers hostname and platform details. It submits those values in a POST request to a hard-coded external callback. The package does not provide a local function beyond this reporting behavior, and it suppresses request errors, making the disclosure unobvious to the user. - **Rationale:** The package's implemented behavior is an external transfer of local identity and host data to an unrelated hard-coded endpoint. Explicit CLI invocation does not make this covert fingerprint exfiltration package-aligned. - **Files touched:** bin/cli.js, package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://oobme.kunalsharma0553.workers.dev/r/7bq6fz3l15r9 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The CLI collects the current user name, host name, and platform, then posts them to an external callback., The callback URL is hard-coded and network failures are silently suppressed. - **Evidence against:** There are no npm lifecycle hooks or dependencies., The code runs only when the package's explicit CLI command is invoked. ## Public findings ### 1.
