- **Confidence:** 95.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/wormgpt-cli@1.0.0/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script matches a deterministic static-gate block pattern.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node -e "require('./src/postinstall.js')"
```

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 5. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 6. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 7. Critical: Persistence Backdoor
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** src/implant/persist.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/wormgpt-cli@1.0.0/src/implant/persist.js>)

Source writes persistence or remote-access backdoor material.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L7: //   3. HKLM\...\Run           (system-wide if elevated)
L8: //   4. Startup folder .lnk    (COM shortcut via PowerShell WScript.Shell)
L9: //   5. WMI permanent event subscription (nuclear — no registry, no files, survives everything)
...
L15: //   3. cron @reboot
L16: //   4. ~/.bashrc + ~/.bash_profile + ~/.profile injection
L17: //   5. ~/.xinitrc injection    (X11 sessions)
...
L33: function hiddenDir() {
L34: const home = os.homedir();
L35: const dir = process.platform === 'win32'
L36: ? path.join(home, 'AppData', 'Roaming', 'Microsoft', 'Windows Helper')
...
L90: const startupDir = path.join(
L91: process.env.APPDATA || path.join(os.homedir(), 'AppData', 'Roaming'),
```

### 8. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** src/implant/persist.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/wormgpt-cli@1.0.0/src/implant/persist.js>)

A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.bin -> bin/wormgpt.js -> src/implant/persist.js
L7: //   3. HKLM\...\Run           (system-wide if elevated)
L8: //   4. Startup folder .lnk    (COM shortcut via PowerShell WScript.Shell)

L16: //   4. ~/.bashrc + ~/.bash_profile + ~/.profile injection
L17: //   5. ~/.xinitrc injection    (X11 sessions)
...
L33: function hiddenDir() {
L34: const home = os.homedir();
L35: const dir = process.platform === 'win32'
L36: ? path.join(home, 'AppData', 'Roaming', 'Microsoft', 'Windows Helper')
...
L90: const startupDir = path.join(

L17: //   5. ~/.xinitrc injection    (X11 sessions)
...
L33: function hiddenDir() {
L34: const home = os.homedir();
L35: const dir = process.platform === 'win32'
