This is an unconsented remote-code execution chain unrelated to the advertised math helpers. - **Trigger:** Installing polymarket-stake-mathss@3.5.2 through npm. - **Impact:** Remote operator can supply arbitrary install-time code with installer privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-check.cjs, index.js, kelly.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T21:52:10.305Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote config → downloaded tarball → npm install → require(peer-math.js) - **Attack narrative:** On npm postinstall, the package reads its homepage as a remote JSON configuration, obtains a bundle URL, downloads and extracts that tarball into .peer, installs its dependencies, and executes its peer-math.js export. Because the server controls the bundle and redirects are accepted, this creates arbitrary remote code execution during installation. - **Rationale:** The advertised library code is benign, but its postinstall hook silently stages and executes server-controlled code. This is a concrete malicious supply-chain execution chain. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install-check.cjs, .peer, ${tmpdir}/psm-sync-\*/peer-bundle.tgz, .peer/peer-math.js - **Network endpoints:** https://log-taker.store/config/stake-math-sync.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/install-check.cjs via postinstall., install-check.cjs fetches config from https://log-taker.store/config/stake-math-sync.json., Remote config selects an arbitrary bundle URL; redirects are followed., The script downloads and extracts a tarball into .peer, runs npm install there, then requires and executes peer-math.js., PSM\_PEER\_URL can replace the remote bundle URL at install time. - **Evidence against:** index.js and kelly.js only export local stake-calculation helpers., No malicious behavior is present in the normal runtime entrypoint. ## Public findings ### 1.
