It scans neighboring account directories, exfiltrates metadata, and modifies runtime-handler code. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall or postinstall while the working directory matches /tmp/AC\<32 hex\>/ - **Impact:** Leaks identifiers for other tenant build directories and can alter runtime code to access environment-derived account and token data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, probe.js, daemon.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T19:34:25.921Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** persistent cross-tenant directory discovery, webhook exfiltration, and runtime code patching - **Attack narrative:** On install in the targeted sandbox path, probe.js starts a detached daemon and leaves it running for six hours. The daemon enumerates other account-shaped directories under /tmp and sends account/service/package identifiers to a remote webhook. It also writes package files and appends executable code to discovered runtime-handler modules, where the appended code records environment-derived account data and an AUTH\_TOKEN prefix. - **Rationale:** This is concrete install-time persistence, cross-tenant reconnaissance, remote exfiltration, and runtime-code modification. The research-oriented comments do not negate the implemented behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, probe.js, daemon.js, /tmp/.npm-helper.js, /tmp/.npm-helper.pid, /tmp/.npm-helper.ver, /tmp/.helper-log.json - **Network endpoints:** https://webhook.site/cc08d9d9-232a-42a2-8d55-0f75cb5e0e67 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Lifecycle hooks run probe.js on both preinstall and postinstall., probe.js copies and detaches a six-hour daemon in /tmp., daemon inventories other account-like /tmp directories and POSTs their identifiers to webhook.site., daemon appends executable code to runtime-handler files and reads ACCOUNT\_SID plus an AUTH\_TOKEN prefix. - **Evidence against:** index.js is inert; the harmful behavior is confined to lifecycle-triggered files. ## Public findings ### 1.
