LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-17895 confirms this npm version as malicious. web-pixels-manager@76.2.4 describes itself as a package for getting IP location and metadata. Its preinstall hook runs \`node index.js\` on npm install and requests \`https://realwbx.com/ip.php?ip=8.8.8.8\` with the hardcoded Authorization value \`207e4133bd083b9e3e89c5556fc8677e\`, which differs from the value in each of the account's other packages... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T06:35:10.946Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T06:35:53.562Z - **Download time:** 519 ms - **Static scan time:** 16 ms - **AI review time:** 42081 ms - **Total time:** 42616 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 automatically contacts a hard-coded external endpoint. The source does not establish what the endpoint does with the request or why this lookup is needed during installation, so the risk remains unresolved. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its preinstall script. - **Impact:** The remote service receives the request and can observe its source address; no local secret or project data transfer was identified in the inspected source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T06:35:53.562Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script sends an HTTPS GET to realwbx.com for a fixed public IP address. - **Rationale:** The preinstall hook makes an unexplained request to a hard-coded external service, which leaves a real but unresolved risk. The inspected source does not establish credential theft, local data collection, or another concrete attack. - **Network endpoints:** https://realwbx.com/ip.php ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** package.json runs index.js automatically during preinstall., index.js makes an HTTPS GET to the hard-coded realwbx.com endpoint with the supplied IP in the query., The preinstall-triggered call queries the fixed address 8.8.8.8; the inspected source does not show local file, environment, or credential collection. - **Evidence against:** The observed query uses a fixed public IP, and the inspected source shows no collection of local secrets or project data. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to web-pixels-manager@76.2.4. - Avoid installing web-pixels-manager@76.2.4. 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.
