## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The package exfiltrates profile response content to a third-party webhook when its main module is imported.

- **Trigger:** Importing or otherwise loading the package entry point.

- **Impact:** Sensitive data available from the profile endpoint can be disclosed to an external party.

- **Evidence paths:** index.js, package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-18T13:55:32.961Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Fetches profile data and forwards a flag-like match or response excerpt to a webhook.

- **Attack narrative:** A consumer that imports this package executes its entry module. The module reads the response from a profile endpoint, searches it for a flag-like value, and transmits either that value or the first 300 response characters to a webhook controlled outside the consumer environment.

- **Rationale:** The source contains a complete, import-triggered data-exfiltration path to an unrelated external webhook. This is concrete malicious behavior even though it has no install hook.

- **Files touched:** index.js

- **Network endpoints:** /profile, https://webhook.site/42c6d937-77c7-42a5-8678-ef06b4501e38

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** Importing the main module requests profile data, extracts a flag-like value or the first 300 characters, and sends it to an external webhook., The manifest makes index.js the package entry point, so this behavior runs when the package is imported.

- **Evidence against:** No install lifecycle scripts are declared., No child-process or filesystem-write behavior was found in the inspected files.
