Importing index.js also performs the same actions. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall or require("stillm4ddpocs-demo-gadget") - **Impact:** Unconsented disclosure of user, host, network, path, and project metadata. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T22:38:45.810Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time host/project reconnaissance and multi-channel exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm runs index.js. It reads the consuming project's manifest and collects host, username, home directory, working directory, local/public IP information, DNS resolver information, and project metadata. It serializes that data, sends it in DNS labels to an external callback domain, and also POSTs it over HTTP and HTTPS. - **Rationale:** The package automatically performs broad host and project metadata collection during preinstall and exfiltrates it to a third-party callback. Its stated research purpose does not provide consent for this behavior in downstream installations. - **Files touched:** index.js, package.json, INIT\_CWD/package.json - **Network endpoints:** da51rv0hb2uc72tg4gvgdepinjcallbk1.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 consuming project's package.json., Collects host, user, home, CWD, local/public IP and resolver subnet., Encodes collected JSON into DNS queries and POSTs it to an external callback. - **Evidence against:** No child-process execution, payload download, persistence, or destructive writes found., Source does not read environment-variable values or file contents beyond the consumer manifest. ## Public findings ### 1.
