The daemon also alters selected tenant node\_modules trees. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall or postinstall while the current directory matches /tmp/AC\<32-hex\>/... - **Impact:** Leaks deployment and tenant metadata; creates a background process and unauthorized package markers in build directories. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, probe.js, daemon.js, hook.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T19:54:18.017Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-hook reconnaissance, exfiltration, detached daemon persistence, and filesystem mutation - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, probe.js activates in a targeted build path, collects runtime and deployment metadata, and exfiltrates it to the webhook stored in hook.txt. It then copies daemon.js to /tmp and launches it detached. The daemon enumerates other tenant build paths, reports their service/package metadata externally, and writes marker packages into selected tenants' node\_modules directories. - **Rationale:** This is concrete unconsented install-time reconnaissance, exfiltration, persistence, and filesystem mutation. The path gate and stated research purpose do not remove the malicious behavior in its targeted environment. - **Files touched:** package.json, probe.js, daemon.js, hook.txt, /tmp/.h1poc.self, /tmp/.h1poc-daemon.js, /tmp/.h1poc.pid, /tmp/.h1poc.ver, 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:** Both preinstall and postinstall execute probe.js., Install hook runs in matching /tmp tenant build directories and writes tracking state., Hook collects process identity, Lambda context, task directory names, and parent command line, then POSTs it., Hook copies and detaches a daemon that persists for 15 minutes., Daemon inventories other tenant build-directory names and exfiltrates each observation., Daemon writes a marker package into selected tenant build node\_modules directories. - **Evidence against:** The install hook is gated to a specific /tmp path pattern., The daemon limits marker writes to two hard-coded tenant IDs, but still observes foreign tenants. ## Public findings ### 1.
