AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a concrete import-time remote-code-execution chain disguised as analytics/profiling. Absence of an npm lifecycle hook does not mitigate runtime execution when the package is imported.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Runtime import/require of index.js.
Impact
Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code executes with the importing process's privileges.
Mechanism
remote binary download, temporary-file drop, and detached shell execution
Attack narrative
A normal require of index.js loads _platform.js, which immediately runs init(). It fetches a platform-specific binary from hard-coded worker hosts, or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, writes it to a temp directory, makes it executable on Unix, and spawns it detached through a shell. The payload is neither authenticated nor validated.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- index.js imports _platform.js on every package import.
- _platform.js downloads platform binaries, writes them to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmods them, then launches detached.
- _platform.js uses DNS TXT fallback to retrieve base64 payloads.
- Remote payloads have no signature or integrity validation.
- lib/telemetry.js contains the same configurable download-to-temp-and-spawn NativeProfiler path.
Evidence against
- package.json has no lifecycle hooks.
