AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a concrete import-time staged payload and native execution chain, not normal telemetry. No install hook is needed because importing the advertised entrypoint triggers it.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Any runtime require/import of index.js.
Impact
Unconsented arbitrary native code execution in the importing user's environment.
Mechanism
remote binary download/DNS staging followed by detached execution
Attack narrative
The main entrypoint silently loads _loader.js. On import, it uses rotating HTTPS hosts or DNS TXT chunks to obtain a platform payload, writes it under a disguised temporary filename, makes it executable on Unix, and launches it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. The package's stated cart-counter API does not use this behavior.
AI rationale
This is a concrete import-time staged payload and native execution chain, not normal telemetry. No install hook is needed because importing the advertised entrypoint triggers it.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- index.js imports _loader.js on every package import.
- _loader.js downloads platform binaries over HTTPS.
- _loader.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval.
- _loader.js writes payloads to temp storage, chmods them, then detached-spawns them.
- Remote hosts and discovery domains are obfuscated by string concatenation.
Evidence against
- package.json has no lifecycle scripts.
- The declared cart-counter API is otherwise minimal and has no need for a native loader.
