pandafortunerush@10.0.0
Defensive placeholder. Benign beacon only (single HTTP GET to researcher server), no functional code. Held to prevent dependency-confusion abuse of an internal project name exposed via a public package.json. Will be transferred to the owning organization
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe preinstall and postinstall hooks automatically transmit the user's account name, hostname, and working directory to an external IP address. This is install-time data exfiltration, regardless of the package's stated research purpose.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- The preinstall hook sends USER or USERNAME, hostname, and working directory in an HTTP GET to 38.242.235.206.
- The postinstall hook repeats the same data transfer to 38.242.235.206.
- The README confirms the install scripts send user, hostname, and working directory to a researcher server.
- The package describes itself as a defensive research placeholder and characterizes the beacon as a single GET.
