Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. An npm preinstall hook executes a host-information collector before installation completes. It transmits the resulting telemetry to a Telegram endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T00:01:56.788Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T00:02:26.526Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 10 ms - **AI review time:** 29219 ms - **Total time:** 29738 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An npm preinstall hook executes a host-information collector before installation completes. It transmits the resulting telemetry to a Telegram endpoint. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs the preinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** This exposes host identity, username, current directory, and potentially sensitive environment-variable names without user consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, callback.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T00:02:26.526Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** callback.js reads system and environment-variable metadata, then posts a formatted message through HTTPS to Telegram. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the package's preinstall hook invokes callback.js. The script gathers local host details and identifies environment variables with credential-related names, then posts a message to a Telegram bot endpoint. The lifecycle trigger makes this collection automatic and silent during dependency installation. - **Rationale:** This is concrete install-time host reconnaissance and outbound exfiltration to an unrelated Telegram recipient. The automatic lifecycle hook makes the behavior unconsented. - **Files touched:** package.json, callback.js - **Network endpoints:** api.telegram.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest automatically runs callback.js during preinstall., The callback collects host, username, working directory, and names of environment variables likely to hold credentials., The callback sends the collected information to Telegram via an HTTPS POST request. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to starbucks-sdk@1.0.0. - Avoid installing starbucks-sdk@1.0.0. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
