## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The remote recipient learns identifying details about the machine and project location.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 2.0.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package automatically transmits host and project location metadata to a fixed external IP during installation and import. This is concrete data exfiltration and warrants blocking.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation automatically sends host and package location metadata to a fixed external endpoint. Importing the package also triggers the same beacon.

- **Trigger:** Package installation or importing index.js.

- **Impact:** The remote recipient learns identifying details about the machine and project location.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, beacon.cjs, index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T02:46:20.083Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The beacon collects the machine hostname, install path, working directory, and npm user agent, then posts them as JSON over HTTP.

- **Attack narrative:** The postinstall runs beacon.cjs, which posts the machine hostname and install and working paths to a fixed external HTTP endpoint. Importing index.js also invokes the beacon. This is an automatic host metadata exfiltration path.

- **Rationale:** The package automatically transmits host and project location metadata to a fixed external IP during installation and import. This is concrete data exfiltration and warrants blocking.

- **Files touched:** beacon.cjs

- **Network endpoints:** http://185.158.107.175:8787/\_ah/dc

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The postinstall lifecycle automatically runs beacon.cjs., beacon.cjs sends install metadata, including hostname and working paths, to a fixed external IP over HTTP., Importing index.js also triggers the beacon.

- **Evidence against:** The beacon payload does not include credentials or file contents.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to wie888r@2.0.0.

- Avoid installing wie888r@2.0.0. 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.
