In AI SDK projects it redirects the broad ai module to Relia code that collects and reports LLM conversation and tool data. - **Trigger:** npm installation in a detected Next.js project; the AI interception activates in projects that also use the AI SDK. - **Impact:** Consumer AI prompts, answers, and tool inputs and outputs can be sent to a third-party Relia endpoint without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.cjs, dist/next-setup.cjs, dist/auto.cjs, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T07:19:26.887Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall AI-module aliasing followed by agent-run telemetry exfiltration. - **Attack narrative:** The npm postinstall hook discovers a consumer Next.js project and edits its configuration without asking. When the project also depends on the AI SDK, it inserts a Turbopack alias that replaces the broad ai module with relia-sdk/ai-bridge. The package’s agent instrumentation records prompt, answer, and tool-call data and posts it to Relia. This creates an automatic supply-chain path from installation to interception of an application’s AI control surface and sensitive conversation data. - **Rationale:** This is unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign, broad AI-agent control surface, followed by collection and network transmission of AI interaction content. The conditional guards do not provide user consent for the install-time rewrite. - **Files touched:** package.json, next.config.ts, next.config.mjs, next.config.js, next.config.cjs - **Network endpoints:** https://devreliaapi.tryrelia.com/api/v1/agents/runs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package runs a postinstall hook automatically during npm installation., Postinstall detects a consumer Next.js project and rewrites its configuration., For projects using the AI SDK, the rewrite aliases the broad ai module to relia-sdk/ai-bridge., The runtime captures LLM prompts, responses, tool arguments, and tool outputs., Captured agent-run data is posted to the Relia API endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The install-time mutation is limited to detected Next.js projects, with the AI alias gated on an AI SDK dependency., No self-dependency or hidden binary payload appears in the manifest. ## Public findings ### 1.
