Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Potential keylogging, C2 control, persistence, USB propagation, and DDoS activity. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 1.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The lifecycle script directly executes a Windows binary whose embedded .NET metadata describes multiple concrete malware capabilities. No legitimate package functionality is present to justify this behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-04T09:23:31.121Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-04T09:23:57.463Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 23 ms - **AI review time:** 25814 ms - **Total time:** 26342 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:** Installing the package runs a bundled native executable without user action. The executable exposes concrete surveillance, persistence, and remote-control capabilities. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Potential keylogging, C2 control, persistence, USB propagation, and DDoS activity. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, bin/stellarfn.exe - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T09:23:57.463Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall launches bundled Windows .NET malware - **Attack narrative:** npm installation invokes postinstall.js, which enumerates bin/ and synchronously launches stellarfn.exe. Static inspection of that .NET binary identifies low-level keyboard hook APIs, XLogger, socket connection and command-handling classes, registry/startup APIs, USB propagation, DDoS, AES encryption, and critical-process support. This is an unconsented install-time execution chain for a bundled RAT-style payload. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle script directly executes a Windows binary whose embedded .NET metadata describes multiple concrete malware capabilities. No legitimate package functionality is present to justify this behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.js, bin/stellarfn.exe ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json postinstall runs node postinstall.js, postinstall.js executes bin/stellarfn.exe during install, bin/stellarfn.exe is a Windows .NET executable, Binary exposes low-level keyboard-hook APIs and XLogger, Binary strings show socket C2, USB spreading, DDoS, and critical-process code, Binary includes registry/startup-related APIs - **Evidence against:** No concrete URL or host is embedded in readable strings ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to stellarfixer@1.0.0. - Avoid installing stellarfixer@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. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node postinstall.js ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node postinstall.js ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 5. Medium: Ships Native Binary - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** bin/stellarfn.exe - **Public source:** [View source]() Package ships native binary artifacts.
