They send host metadata and environment-variable names to a fixed external webhook and save the full collection locally. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall or postinstall when cwd matches /tmp/AC\<32 hex\>/ - **Impact:** Exposure of environment values and process/container configuration to a package-local loot file; external disclosure of host identity and environment-variable names. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, probe.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T19:18:35.041Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** guarded install-time host reconnaissance, webhook callback, and local data dump - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, both lifecycle hooks run probe.js. In its targeted sandbox, it captures process and environment data, reads procfs and system configuration, and enumerates temporary paths. It posts the hostname, working directory, and environment-variable names to a fixed webhook, while serializing the broader collection, including full environment values, into loot.json beside the package. - **Rationale:** A narrow guard does not make unconsented install-time reconnaissance acceptable in the environment it targets. The lifecycle-triggered collection and external callback establish concrete malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, probe.js, loot.json - **Network endpoints:** https://webhook.site/22508080-b099-4ec3-8ab7-7354af2886a9 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Both preinstall and postinstall execute probe.js automatically., The guarded payload captures the full environment plus process, filesystem, and network configuration data., It POSTs host identity and environment-variable names to a fixed external webhook and writes the collected data to loot.json. - **Evidence against:** The payload returns unless the working directory matches a narrow /tmp/AC… sandbox pattern., The remote request body contains environment-variable names, not their values. ## Public findings ### 1.
