## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The selected recipient receives the caller's configuration, including any Discord tokens it contains.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 2.1.9
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The exported check() function extracts Discord tokens from the caller's source and transmits the containing configuration to a fixed Discord recipient using an embedded bot credential. This is credential exfiltration triggered by calling the package's API.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The exported check() function steals Discord tokens found in the caller's CONFIG and sends that configuration to a publisher-chosen Discord account.

- **Trigger:** A consumer calls check().

- **Impact:** The selected recipient receives the caller's configuration, including any Discord tokens it contains.

- **Evidence paths:** index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T06:38:27.497Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The function reads process.argv\[1\], extracts CONFIG and its tokens, uses those tokens to log in, then logs in with an embedded bot credential and DMs the CONFIG to a fixed user.

- **Attack narrative:** When a consumer calls check(), the package reads the running program's source, extracts its CONFIG object and token list, and logs in with those tokens. It then logs in with an embedded Discord bot credential and sends the CONFIG to a hardcoded Discord user. This exposes the caller's configuration and any contained credentials without consent.

- **Rationale:** The exported check() function extracts Discord tokens from the caller's source and transmits the containing configuration to a fixed Discord recipient using an embedded bot credential. This is credential exfiltration triggered by calling the package's API.

- **Files touched:** process.argv\[1\] (read at runtime)

- **Network endpoints:** Discord API via discord.js and discord.js-selfbot-v13

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The package entry point exports a check() function., check() reads the running program's source and extracts its CONFIG object., It extracts tokens from CONFIG and logs in with each token to validate it., It contains a fixed Discord bot credential and a hardcoded recipient ID., It sends the extracted CONFIG contents to that recipient in a Discord direct message.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install or lifecycle scripts., The credential collection and send occur when check() is called, rather than as import-time code.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to self-v8@2.1.9.

- Avoid installing self-v8@2.1.9. 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.
