AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source provides a concrete, automatically reachable remote payload download-and-execute chain, not merely telemetry behavior. Lack of an install hook does not mitigate execution on normal package import.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Any runtime require/import of index.js.
Impact
Arbitrary native code execution with the importing process's user privileges.
Mechanism
obfuscated download-and-execute bootstrap
Attack narrative
At import time, index.js catches and invokes _bootstrap.js. The bootstrap selects an OS/architecture payload, tries several obfuscated HTTPS hosts, then falls back to DNS TXT chunks. If the payload is sufficiently large, it writes it into a temporary executable file, grants execute permission on non-Windows systems, and starts it through a detached shell or cmd.exe process. This is an unconsented remote native-code execution chain.
AI rationale
The source provides a concrete, automatically reachable remote payload download-and-execute chain, not merely telemetry behavior. Lack of an install hook does not mitigate execution on normal package import.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- index.js imports _bootstrap on every package import.
- _bootstrap.js downloads platform binaries from hidden external hosts.
- _bootstrap.js reconstructs binary payloads through DNS TXT records.
- Downloaded bytes are written to a temp file, chmodded, then detached-spawned.
- Remote endpoints are obfuscated with split strings and failures are suppressed.
Evidence against
- package.json has no npm lifecycle hooks.
- The declared library export is lib/telemetry.js, but its import still triggers the bootstrap.
