The daemon inventories foreign build-directory names, exfiltrates telemetry to a webhook, and writes a marker into a target build tree. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall or postinstall while cwd matches /tmp/AC\<32 hex\>/ - **Impact:** Exposes build topology and execution metadata; creates a temporary background process and mutates a build node\_modules tree. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, probe.js, daemon.js, hook.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T19:42:13.636Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time telemetry theft and detached cross-build directory surveillance - **Attack narrative:** On preinstall and postinstall, the package conditionally collects host/process and build metadata, posts it to a third-party webhook, then drops a detached daemon in /tmp. That daemon polls account-scoped build directories, reports foreign directory/service/package identifiers, and can write a marker package to a target build directory. The guard only narrows the target environment; it does not remove the unconsented install-time surveillance, exfiltration, or persistence behavior. - **Rationale:** Source confirms a concrete install-time chain of data collection, webhook exfiltration, detached daemon persistence, and cross-build enumeration. The hard-coded environment guard and claimed owned write target do not mitigate the foreign-directory telemetry. - **Files touched:** probe.js, daemon.js, hook.txt, /tmp/.h1poc-daemon.js, /tmp/.h1poc.pid, /tmp/.h1poc.ver, /tmp/\/\/\/node\_modules/h1-poc-marker - **Network endpoints:** https://webhook.site/b520829e-516a-45ff-980c-173aa54fc4bc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Install hooks run probe.js before and after installation., Lifecycle code sends host, process, Lambda, directory, and parent-command data to its webhook., It copies and detaches a daemon into /tmp, records its PID, and kills a prior process., Daemon continuously enumerates other AC-prefixed build directories and reports them externally., Daemon writes a package marker into a selected build directory. - **Evidence against:** The probe returns unless its working directory matches a guarded /tmp/AC… packager path., Source limits marker writes to one hard-coded account; this does not prevent foreign-directory enumeration and telemetry. ## Public findings ### 1.
