AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The automatic preinstall hook exfiltrates the hostname and OS username to a package-embedded Discord webhook. This is install-time data exfiltration unrelated to the package's stated purpose. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T06:40:06.552Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T06:40:27.944Z - **Download time:** 430 ms - **Static scan time:** 116 ms - **AI review time:** 20845 ms - **Total time:** 21392 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The install hook sends host-identifying data to a hard-coded Discord webhook without installer consent. - **Trigger:** Package installation, through the manifest's preinstall lifecycle script. - **Impact:** The webhook operator receives the installing machine's hostname and username. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, preinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T06:40:27.944Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** preinstall.js reads the hostname and OS username, includes them in a message, and posts it to the webhook. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the preinstall hook sends the machine hostname and OS username to a hard-coded Discord webhook. It then records a local marker. The package's exported entry point is unrelated to this behavior. - **Rationale:** The automatic preinstall hook exfiltrates the hostname and OS username to a package-embedded Discord webhook. This is install-time data exfiltration unrelated to the package's stated purpose. - **Files touched:** .preinstall-marker.json - **Network endpoints:** https://canary.discord.com/api/webhooks/1566232728179843243/pM5rDIrCRrEpQRbA7ibaiQk1XOQlIftmBacA5s8jD8NvXn5W-rS832DOWHQS-G-j3N6U ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest automatically runs node preinstall.js during installation., The hook posts to a hard-coded Discord webhook., The message includes the machine hostname and OS username., The hook sends that message in an HTTP POST to the webhook. - **Evidence against:** The exported index.js function only returns a fixed availability string. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to wallet-adapter-base@1.0.0. - Avoid installing wallet-adapter-base@1.0.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
