## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing this package triggers a preinstall hook that installs randompkgb through rnpm. This is an unconsented install-time staged dependency action.

- **Trigger:** npm installation of randompkga

- **Impact:** Can alter the consuming project and stage execution of code from randompkgb during installation.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T17:25:33.120Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** preinstall-driven secondary package installation

- **Attack narrative:** The package's only implementation is a preinstall command that runs \`rnpm i randompkgb\`. Thus merely installing randompkga causes a second package to be fetched and installed outside the declared dependency manifest, creating a staged payload path during installation.

- **Rationale:** The explicit preinstall hook performs an unconsented secondary package installation. This is concrete install-hook abuse even though the package itself contains no direct exfiltration or network code.

- **Files touched:** package.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json defines a preinstall lifecycle hook., The hook invokes \`rnpm i randompkgb\`, causing an additional package installation during npm install.

- **Evidence against:** No other package source files are present., No direct network endpoint, credential access, or destructive command is declared.
