## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The install changes repository contents and history without a source-level user approval step.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse
- **Selected version:** 1.0.6
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The source establishes an automatic install-time path that writes to the consumer repository and pushes a tag using available credentials. This is concrete install-hook abuse, so the package should be blocked.

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The automatic setup hook modifies the consuming repository when installed in CI. It commits a runner snapshot and pushes a timestamped tag using available repository credentials.

- **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook in CI with GITHUB\_WORKSPACE; repository writes additionally require GitHub repository context and a GITHUB\_TOKEN.

- **Impact:** The install changes repository contents and history without a source-level user approval step.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-13T06:46:09.286Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The hook collects runner and repository metadata, writes a report through the GitHub contents API, then creates and force-pushes a tag through the checkout’s Git remote.

- **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook runs automatically and, in CI, gathers runner and repository details. When repository credentials are available, it commits a report through the GitHub API and force-pushes a timestamped tag. These are unrequested repository changes triggered by package installation.

- **Rationale:** The source establishes an automatic install-time path that writes to the consumer repository and pushes a tag using available credentials. This is concrete install-hook abuse, so the package should be blocked.

- **Files touched:** heatmap-setup-report.json, heatmap-setup-\<timestamp\> tag

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** package.json runs scripts/setup.js automatically as a postinstall hook., The setup actions proceed when both CI and GITHUB\_WORKSPACE are present., The script collects runner, user, and repository metadata into a snapshot., With a GitHub token and repository context, it writes the snapshot to the repository through api.github.com., The script also creates and force-pushes a timestamped tag using the checkout’s Git credentials.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to orderly-plugin-liquidity-heatmap@1.0.6.

- Avoid installing orderly-plugin-liquidity-heatmap@1.0.6. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
