AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is concrete, obfuscated preinstall-time reconnaissance and exfiltration with no apparent package functionality. The lifecycle hook executes automatically during installation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-12T23:04:29.104Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-12T23:05:25.269Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 24 ms - **AI review time:** 55632 ms - **Total time:** 56165 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package activates an npm \`preinstall\` hook. It executes an obfuscated command that transmits host identity and working-directory data to an external Pipedream endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm installation - **Impact:** Unconsented installation-time host reconnaissance and data exfiltration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, preinstall.js, preinstall.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-12T23:05:25.269Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** hex-decoded shell command executed via \`child\_process.exec\` - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, \`package.json\` invokes \`preinstall.js\`. The script reads and hex-decodes a command from \`preinstall.json\`, then executes it through the shell. The decoded curl request POSTs the installing account name, current directory, and hostname to an external Pipedream collector without user consent. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, obfuscated preinstall-time reconnaissance and exfiltration with no apparent package functionality. The lifecycle hook executes automatically during installation. - **Files touched:** package.json, preinstall.js, preinstall.json - **Network endpoints:** https://eo7o7j442dx6yl6.m.pipedream.net/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** \`package.json\` runs \`node preinstall.js\` during npm preinstall., \`preinstall.js\` reads a hex command from \`preinstall.json\`, decodes it, and executes it with \`child\_process.exec\`., \`preinstall.json\` decodes to a curl POST to \`https://eo7o7j442dx6yl6.m.pipedream.net/\`., The POST collects \`whoami\`, \`pwd\`, and \`hostname\` automatically at install time. - **Evidence against:** No package source files beyond the lifecycle payload were present., No evidence of a legitimate package function or user-invoked purpose was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to trinity-scheme@20.0.0. - Avoid installing trinity-scheme@20.0.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
