## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing the package runs a lifecycle script that modifies the consuming project's manifest. It silently introduces a new dependency.

- **Trigger:** npm installation of randompkga

- **Impact:** Unexpected dependency injection into the installer project.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T19:48:05.096Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** postinstall mutation of INIT\_CWD/package.json

- **Attack narrative:** On installation, package.json invokes postinstall.js. The script resolves INIT\_CWD/package.json, reads it, adds randompkgb to dependencies, and writes the consuming project's manifest back. This is an unconsented install-time modification of a foreign project that causes a separate package to be introduced on a later dependency installation.

- **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete postinstall dependency-injection chain against the installer project's package.json. No benign package function or user-invoked setup path justifies this mutation.

- **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.js, INIT\_CWD/package.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Install-time postinstall executes postinstall.js., The script targets the installer project's package.json via INIT\_CWD., It silently adds randompkgb as a dependency and rewrites that manifest.

- **Evidence against:** No network, credential harvesting, shell execution, or remote payload loading is present in the two packaged files.
