AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package installs a remote dependency whose preinstall hook automatically sends identifying host and user data to an unrelated OAST endpoint. This is an installation-time disclosure, so the package is malicious and should be blocked.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing the package triggers the dependency's preinstall script.
Impact
The remote recipient can observe these identifiers and the installer's network address.
Mechanism
The script hex-encodes the hostname, home directory, and username and uses each as a subdomain in an HTTP request to an OAST host.
Attack narrative
Installing this package runs the remote dependency’s preinstall hook. That hook sends the installer’s username, hostname, and home-directory value, encoded into request subdomains, to an OAST endpoint without an affirmative consent guard.
AI rationale
The package installs a remote dependency whose preinstall hook automatically sends identifying host and user data to an unrelated OAST endpoint. This is an installation-time disclosure, so the package is malicious and should be blocked.
