The payload is stored persistently under the user's home directory. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall invokes raffaela.js with --version. - **Impact:** An external host can supply code that executes with the installing user's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, raffaela.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T03:19:46.488Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Downloads, chmods, and spawns an opaque remote native binary. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall hook runs the launcher. If its cached binary is absent, the launcher downloads a platform-specific executable from raffaela.dev, writes it beneath the user's home directory, makes it executable, and launches it. The downloaded code is not included in the package for review, so the remote endpoint controls code executed during installation. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented install-time remote-code execution chain: an opaque native payload is downloaded, persisted, and executed automatically. The visible source provides no integrity verification or payload source for review. - **Files touched:** package.json, raffaela.js, ~/.raffaela/bin/raffaela-{darwin,linux}-{arm64,x64} - **Network endpoints:** https://raffaela.dev/bin ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook automatically runs the launcher during package installation., The launcher states that it downloads and executes a compiled binary whose source is unavailable., It writes the downloaded platform binary into the user's home-directory cache and marks it executable., It launches the downloaded binary with inherited terminal input and output. - **Evidence against:** The download host is a fixed HTTPS endpoint., The visible JavaScript does not itself harvest credentials or exfiltrate files. ## Public findings ### 1.

High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Path:** raffaela.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The launcher states that it downloads and executes a compiled binary whose source is unavailable. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript #!/usr/bin/env node // Raffaela CLI — thin launcher (downloads/executes compiled binary) // No source code exposed. Binary hosted on raffaela.dev. ``` ### 12. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Path:** raffaela.js - **Public source:** [View source]() It writes the downloaded platform binary into the user's home-directory cache and marks it executable. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript function getBinPath() { const cacheDir = path.join(os.homedir(), '.raffaela', 'bin'); const binName = getPlatform(); return path.join(cacheDir, binName); } ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** raffaela-app - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.0 - **License:** UNLICENSED - **Version published:** 2026-09-05T03:16:42.830Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-09-05T03:19:46.488Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-09-05T03:19:46.488Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 1.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Rafaela — AI agent de terminal (compilado, código protegido) - **Keywords:** ai, agent, cli, raffaela, terminal - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=18 - **Artifact files:** 2 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 2,592 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]()
