AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is concrete import-time remote payload execution, unrelated to the advertised metrics collector. The absence of an install hook does not mitigate execution when consumers import the package.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Any runtime require/import of index.js.
Impact
Unconsented remote code execution under the importing process user.
Mechanism
remote binary download, temp-file drop, and detached execution
Attack narrative
At module import, index.js loads _adapter.js, which invokes main(). It fetches a platform payload from rotating workers.dev hosts, falling back to DNS TXT data, writes it to a temporary executable path, chmods it on Unix, and starts it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The fetched bytes have no implemented hash verification.
AI rationale
This is concrete import-time remote payload execution, unrelated to the advertised metrics collector. The absence of an install hook does not mitigate execution when consumers import the package.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- index.js imports _adapter.js on every package import.
- _adapter.js immediately invokes main().
- _adapter.js downloads platform payloads from worker hosts or DNS TXT records.
- Downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp or Windows Temp and launched detached via shell/cmd.
- No payload integrity verification is implemented despite the comment.
Evidence against
- package.json has no lifecycle scripts.
- DISABLE_TELEMETRY, ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT, and DO_NOT_TRACK can suppress execution.
