The daemon inventories other tenant-like build directories and modifies selected discovered projects. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall or postinstall in a matching /tmp/AC… build path - **Impact:** Exposure of build/runtime metadata, ongoing background activity, and unauthorized modification of discovered project node\_modules. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, probe.js, daemon.js, hook.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T20:23:55.719Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time reconnaissance, HTTPS exfiltration, detached daemon persistence, and cross-project writes - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package in its targeted build path runs probe.js before and after installation. It collects runtime and process context, sends it to a webhook, copies and detaches daemon.js in /tmp, and records its PID. The daemon scans neighboring tenant-like build directories, reports discoveries, and creates a marker package inside selected projects’ node\_modules. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, unconsented install-time reconnaissance, exfiltration, persistence, and cross-project mutation. The path guard limits targeting but does not make the behavior benign. - **Files touched:** hook.txt, probe.js, daemon.js, /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:** preinstall and postinstall execute probe.js automatically., probe collects process, environment, task-directory, and parent-command data then POSTs it., probe installs a detached daemon in /tmp and records its PID., daemon enumerates other tenant-style /tmp directories and reports them remotely., daemon writes a marker package into selected discovered projects. - **Evidence against:** probe exits outside a narrowly matched /tmp path, but its targeted install-time behavior remains harmful. ## Public findings ### 1.
