Results, response fragments, and the install working directory are written locally and exfiltrated externally. - **Trigger:** npm install invokes postinstall when the current directory matches /tmp/AC\[0-9a-f\]{32}/. - **Impact:** Exposes reachable internal services, connectivity metadata, and partial HTTPS response content to an external endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, probe.js, index.js, daemon.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T20:15:39.793Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time network scanning and webhook exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** On installation, postinstall launches probe.js. In a targeted temporary environment, it resolves and probes internal Twilio hosts and a private IP, performs HTTPS requests with certificate verification disabled, stores partial response data, writes loot.json, and POSTs the collected results plus the working directory to an external webhook. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, unconsented install-time reconnaissance and exfiltration rather than a package-aligned function. The environment guard narrows targeting but does not remove the malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, probe.js, loot.json - **Network endpoints:** https://webhook.site/5764994f-28a3-41b2-b1f7-1ecc13e8e5ca, argo-cd.prod.email.twilioinfra.com, help-center.aws-otk-prod-general-use1-001.otk.twilioinfra.com, support-api.us1.twilio.com, kafka-ui.au1.twilio.com, kafka-self-service.au1.twilio.com, code.hq.twilio.com, snyk-sendgrid.corp.twilio.com, knowledgenest.twilio.com, service-catalog.in1.twilio.com, one-console-internal.ashburn.us1.twilio.com, eventgw.us1.twilio.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall executes probe.js automatically during installation., The probe is gated to a temporary sandbox path, then scans named Twilio internal hosts and a private IP., It collects DNS, TCP, and HTTPS response data, including up to 150 response-body characters., Collected results and the install working directory are POSTed to an external webhook., The probe writes collected network results to loot.json. - **Evidence against:** The package main entrypoint is inert., The path guard limits execution to a specific /tmp/AC… sandbox pattern. ## Public findings ### 1.
