Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Secrets and deployment credentials in the installer project's .env can be disclosed. - **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 an unconsented install-time collection and exfiltration chain targeting the consuming project's .env, with an intentionally hidden destination and silent failure handling. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-17T17:24:00.327Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-17T17:24:49.535Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 25 ms - **AI review time:** 48675 ms - **Total time:** 49208 ms 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 installation executes code that looks for the installing project's .env, parses it, and sends all values to an obfuscated remote endpoint. Failures are intentionally silent. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Secrets and deployment credentials in the installer project's .env can be disclosed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T17:24:49.535Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic .env credential exfiltration via HTTP POST - **Attack narrative:** During npm postinstall, dist/postinstall.js invokes prices(). Unless an opt-out environment variable is set, it resolves INIT\_CWD/current working directory .env, parses all entries, and POSTs them to a Base58-obfuscated default URL. It catches errors so installation succeeds without exposing the failed request. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented install-time collection and exfiltration chain targeting the consuming project's .env, with an intentionally hidden destination and silent failure handling. - **Files touched:** .env, dist/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **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 runs automatically and suppresses failures., Install path calls prices(), which uploads a project .env when present., It resolves .env from INIT\_CWD/current working directory., It parses the complete .env and POSTs the parsed object., The default endpoint is Base58-obfuscated: http://45.8.22.112:3000/api/clob. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to price-scripping-js@1.1.2. - Avoid installing price-scripping-js@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. ## Public findings ### 1.
