It also downloads and drops a JAR into discovered Minecraft mod folders. - **Trigger:** npm install via postinstall, or any caller invoking validateSecret - **Impact:** Account-token theft and unconsented remote JAR installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T17:15:13.960Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** credential harvesting, Discord webhook exfiltration, and Minecraft mod dropper - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, the postinstall invokes index.js with --setup, which delays then runs the harvesting routine. The code reads Minecraft account data, scans Discord and browser LevelDB storage for tokens, uses Windows DPAPI to decrypt protected values, validates tokens, and posts collected data to an obscured Discord webhook. Independently, it downloads a JAR and writes it into Minecraft mod directories. The exported validateSecret function also schedules this routine when used as a library. - **Rationale:** This is concrete install-time credential theft and unauthorized payload installation, unrelated to TOTP utilities. The legitimate TOTP API is a cover and also triggers the malicious routine. - **Files touched:** APPDATA/.minecraft/launcher\_accounts.json, APPDATA/\*/Local Storage/leveldb, LOCALAPPDATA/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Local Storage/leveldb, Minecraft mod folders/optimized-renderer-1.0.0.jar - **Network endpoints:** discord.com, https://discord.com/api/v9/users/@me, cdn.discordapp.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall runs index.js with --setup., Runtime decodes an obscured webhook URL and POSTs data., Harvests Minecraft accounts and Discord/browser token stores., Validates Discord tokens with an Authorization request., Downloads a JAR and writes it into Minecraft mod folders., Calling validateSecret also schedules the harvesting routine. - **Evidence against:** The exported TOTP helpers implement plausible token functionality., No benign purpose explains credential harvesting or mod installation. ## Public findings ### 1.
