The payload contains token-oriented logic and evaluates remotely obtained code. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-04T11:50:17.302Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-04T11:50:54.802Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 358 ms - **AI review time:** 36628 ms - **Total time:** 37500 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm preinstall executes setup.mjs, which ensures Bun is available and runs the concealed math\_init.js payload. The payload contains token-oriented logic and evaluates remotely obtained code. - **Trigger:** npm install/preinstall - **Impact:** Credential theft and arbitrary remote code execution on the installing machine. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js, dist/index-node18.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:50:54.802Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** downloads a runtime and executes an obfuscated staged payload with remote eval - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes setup.mjs before installation completes. It executes math\_init.js with Bun, downloading Bun first if absent. The bundled payload is heavily obfuscated, contains remote-response eval, and includes npm/GitHub token-oriented handling plus an embedded non-package host, establishing a concrete staged credential-theft/remote-code-execution chain. - **Rationale:** The benign public entrypoint is decoupled from a malicious preinstall path. Obfuscation, runtime bootstrapping, token handling, and remote eval are concrete install-time attack behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js, /etc/os-release, temporary Bun download directory - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/download/bun-v1.3.13/, MDX6yrw.e0s6az.Cn ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs setup.mjs as preinstall., setup.mjs downloads Bun then executes bundled math\_init.js during install., math\_init.js is a 728 KB obfuscated executable payload., math\_init.js contains remote-response eval and npm/GitHub token-handling code., Obfuscated payload includes host MDX6yrw.e0s6az.Cn. - **Evidence against:** Declared library entrypoint dist/index-node18.mjs only returns a greeting. ## Public findings ### 1.
