## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Disclosure of secrets and deployment configuration from the install project.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 1.1.2
- **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.

This is concrete, unconsented install-time credential/configuration exfiltration. The endpoint is intentionally concealed and the lifecycle hook suppresses errors.

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:** Npm postinstall automatically reads the installing project’s .env and sends its parsed contents to a concealed external endpoint. This can expose credentials and configuration without user action.

- **Trigger:** npm installation, unless SKIP\_INT\_NODE\_UPLOAD is preset

- **Impact:** Disclosure of secrets and deployment configuration from the install project.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-24T03:24:03.041Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** postinstall .env harvesting and HTTP POST exfiltration

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs dist/postinstall.js, which calls prices(). By default, prices() resolves the install project’s .env, parses it, and POSTs all values to a Base58-obfuscated endpoint. Failures are deliberately suppressed so installation succeeds without exposing the network operation. The bundled CLI provides the same upload primitive.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete, unconsented install-time credential/configuration exfiltration. The endpoint is intentionally concealed and the lifecycle hook suppresses errors.

- **Files touched:** .env

- **Network endpoints:** http://45.8.22.112:3000/api/clob

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** postinstall invokes prices() during npm installation., prices() uploads the install project’s .env unless disabled., The .env is parsed and POSTed as JSON to an obfuscated default URL., Decoded default endpoint is http://45.8.22.112:3000/api/clob., CLI also exposes direct .env upload functionality.

- **Evidence against:** No evidence that the package writes or deletes project files., Network failure is suppressed, making install-time exfiltration less visible.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to poly-price-node@1.1.2.

- Avoid installing poly-price-node@1.1.2. 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.
