The executed payload can use Node's module loader. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution on the installing machine, controlled by the remote response. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/utils/index.js, lib/utils/smtp-connection/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T15:19:35.411Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Detached remote payload download and dynamic execution. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, package.json invokes lib/utils/index.js. That launcher starts lib/utils/smtp-connection/index.js detached from the npm process. The helper retrieves a record from api.jsonbin.io and passes its cookie field to Function, giving it require. Consequently the remote endpoint can supply code that executes with the installing user's permissions without a package update. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic install-time remote-code-execution chain with deliberate detached execution. The remote payload is opaque to the package snapshot and has Node module access. - **Files touched:** package.json, lib/utils/index.js, lib/utils/smtp-connection/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.jsonbin.io/v3/b/6a62bc86da38895dfe879659 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook automatically runs a local launcher during npm installation., The launcher starts the helper as a detached Node process and disconnects it from the installer., The helper downloads code from api.jsonbin.io and executes the returned value with Node's require capability. - **Evidence against:** No concrete local file harvesting or overwrite is present in the inspected launcher and helper., The remainder of the inspected library is mailer-derived code, but it does not mitigate the install-time remote execution chain. ## Public findings ### 1.
