The loader retrieves a payload from a third-party JSON endpoint and dynamically evaluates it. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall - **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution on the installing machine. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/utils/index.js, lib/utils/smtp-connection/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T08:28:11.731Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** detached remote payload fetch and Function-based execution - **Attack narrative:** During npm preinstall, lib/utils/index.js spawns and detaches a Node process for an obfuscated file. That file constructs Function dynamically, fetches an embedded api.jsonbin.io URL, and executes the remotely supplied code with require available. This is unconsented install-time remote code execution. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete obfuscated, detached preinstall payload loader rather than package-aligned functionality. Its remote code execution path is directly established from source. - **Files touched:** package.json, lib/utils/index.js, lib/utils/smtp-connection/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.jsonbin.io/v3/b/6a709899da38895dfeb3bc72 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs preinstall: node lib/utils/index.js., lib/utils/index.js detaches a child Node process for lib/utils/smtp-connection/index.js., That child is heavily obfuscated and dynamically constructs code via Function., Decoded embedded URL is https://api.jsonbin.io/v3/b/6a709899da38895dfeb3bc72., Obfuscated loader fetches remote content and passes require into dynamically created code. - **Evidence against:** lib/nodemailer.js and lib/shared/index.js otherwise resemble mail-library source., No legitimate need is shown for the preinstall background loader. ## Public findings ### 1.
