This mutates the consumer dependency state without a user command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-19T20:50:14.273Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-19T20:50:49.577Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 5 ms - **AI review time:** 34790 ms - **Total time:** 35304 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing this package automatically runs npm in the consumer's working directory to install randompkgb. This mutates the consumer dependency state without a user command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during installation of randompkga - **Impact:** Unconsented dependency injection into the consuming project; the installed secondary package then gains its own install/runtime attack surface. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T20:50:49.577Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall-time forced installation of a second package in $INIT\_CWD - **Attack narrative:** The package declares a postinstall hook that changes directory to the consumer's initial working directory and executes \`npm i randompkgb\`. This injects a separate dependency into the consumer project during installation, outside the declared dependency graph and without an explicit user action. The secondary package is an unreviewed staged payload channel. - **Rationale:** Direct manifest inspection confirms an install-time command that mutates the consuming project by installing a separate package. No benign package-aligned setup purpose is shown. - **Files touched:** package.json, $INIT\_CWD/package.json, $INIT\_CWD/node\_modules/randompkgb ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Install lifecycle hook changes into the consuming project and runs npm to install randompkgb., The install command executes from $INIT\_CWD, targeting the caller's project rather than this package. - **Evidence against:** No explicit network endpoint, credential access, or shell payload is present in the two package files., postinstall.js mutates a package manifest but is not referenced by the lifecycle hook. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = cd "$INIT_CWD" && npm i randompkgb ``` ### 2. Critical: Red Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script matches a deterministic static-gate block pattern. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = cd "$INIT_CWD" && npm i randompkgb ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 5. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 6. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install lifecycle hook changes into the consuming project and runs npm to install randompkgb. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "scripts": { "postinstall": "cd \"$INIT_CWD\" && npm i randompkgb" } ``` ### 7. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The install command executes from $INIT\_CWD, targeting the caller's project rather than this package. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "postinstall": "cd \"$INIT_CWD\" && npm i randompkgb" ``` ## 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:** randompkga - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.12 - **License:** ISC - **Version published:** 2026-08-19T11:08:50.273Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-19T09:48:32.819Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-19T23:53:39.993Z - **Known versions:** 20 - **Latest version:** 1.0.22 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Artifact files:** 2 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 557 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]()
