It sends the resulting metadata via DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS to an attacker-controlled callback. - **Trigger:** npm install invoking the preinstall lifecycle hook - **Impact:** Exposes identifiable developer/CI host, network, filesystem-path, and project-owner metadata without user consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T19:34:15.539Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time host and project metadata exfiltration over DNS and POST - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package triggers index.js through preinstall. The script reads the consuming project's manifest and collects username, home directory, hostname, local/public/resolver IPs, working directory, and project metadata. It base64-encodes this payload into DNS requests and also POSTs it over HTTP and HTTPS to a fixed OAST callback. The behavior is automatic and non-consensual. - **Rationale:** The package implements a concrete install-time data-exfiltration chain, regardless of its stated research purpose. Its limited scope does not remove the unconsented collection and external transmission. - **Files touched:** index.js, package.json, \/package.json - **Network endpoints:** da4v7l8hb2uc72ugqfmgk64edkj89qcok.oast.fun, https://api.ipify.org, https://icanhazip.com, https://ifconfig.me/ip, o-o.myaddr.l.google.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** preinstall executes index.js automatically., Reads the consuming project's package.json., Collects host, user, home, working-directory, network, and project metadata., Encodes the full payload into DNS queries and POSTs it to a fixed external callback. - **Evidence against:** No credential/env-variable harvesting, file writes, subprocesses, or remote code loading are present. ## Public findings ### 1.
