AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The dependency's automatic preinstall path collects identifying data and sends it to a fixed external collector. This is an unconsented installation disclosure, so the package should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T06:41:07.644Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T06:41:33.132Z - **Download time:** 1025 ms - **Static scan time:** 5 ms - **AI review time:** 24457 ms - **Total time:** 25488 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package triggers a dependency preinstall script that sends machine and user identifiers to a fixed external collector. - **Trigger:** Installation of sc-announcer and its ltidisafe dependency. - **Impact:** Installation discloses identifying system and user data to an unrelated collector without a source-established consent guard. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-36b294ad-dbc8-4760-9392-b3dd33c88af4/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-36b294ad-dbc8-4760-9392-b3dd33c88af4/0/npm-linux/test.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-36b294ad-dbc8-4760-9392-b3dd33c88af4/0/npm-linux/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T06:41:33.132Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The preinstall hook runs test.js, which encodes the hostname, home directory, and username and passes them into HTTP request URLs on the collector host. - **Attack narrative:** The package depends on a remote tarball whose preinstall hook runs test.js. That script encodes the machine hostname, home directory, and username, then submits each value through an HTTP request to a fixed OAST collector host. The source shows no recipient-specific consent guard. - **Rationale:** The dependency's automatic preinstall path collects identifying data and sends it to a fixed external collector. This is an unconsented installation disclosure, so the package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-36b294ad-dbc8-4760-9392-b3dd33c88af4/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-36b294ad-dbc8-4760-9392-b3dd33c88af4/0/npm-linux/test.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-36b294ad-dbc8-4760-9392-b3dd33c88af4/0/npm-linux/index.js - **Network endpoints:** http://\.sc-announcer.kqel2jpt5j6e15lfrh3se4zj9afe34rt.oastify.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json declares the remote ltidisafe tarball as a dependency., The dependency manifest runs test.js automatically during preinstall., test.js reads and hex-encodes the machine hostname, home directory, and username., test.js invokes the network routine with the username, hostname, and home directory., The routine builds an HTTP URL under a fixed OAST collector host using each supplied identifier., index.js sends a request to the constructed URL. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to sc-announcer@99.9.1. - Avoid installing sc-announcer@99.9.1. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
