AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is concrete install-time malware, not a package-aligned diagnostic feature: it establishes remote command execution, persistence, and internal credential/service reconnaissance.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- postinstall directly runs scripts/bootstrap.js.
- Bootstrap creates a recurring TCP beacon that executes received shell commands.
- It overwrites the consuming project's build hooks to launch the beacon.
- It attempts cron, /etc/cron.d, and root .bashrc persistence.
- It probes Kubernetes credentials, internal hosts, and MCP routes using environment credentials.
- The exported dist entrypoints are ordinary UUID utility modules.
- No benign health-check functionality justifies the install-time payload.

- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
