This report shows the evidence for tol8t@14.0.0, the only known version.
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiAutomatic install hooks transmit consumer environment identifiers to an unrelated external endpoint. This is concrete unsolicited data exfiltration, so the package should be blocked.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm installation, through preinstall and postinstall hooks
Impact
Leaks consumer environment information to a third party during installation.
Mechanism
wget posts host-identifying values to a Discord webhook
Attack narrative
Installing the package invokes preinstall, which expands pwd and posts the resulting installation directory to Discord. Postinstall expands hostname and posts that host identifier to the same webhook. The package snapshot has no implementation that would require these network disclosures.
AI rationale
Automatic install hooks transmit consumer environment identifiers to an unrelated external endpoint. This is concrete unsolicited data exfiltration, so the package should be blocked.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The preinstall hook sends the install directory to a Discord webhook.
- The postinstall hook sends the host name to the same external webhook.
- Both actions run automatically during npm installation and have no package functionality.
Evidence against
- The snapshot contains no other source files or runtime implementation.
