AI Security Review

scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package automatically sends an install-time request to a publisher-selected endpoint, with a hardcoded tag and no consent check. The lookup feature matches the package description, but the installation-triggered example is unnecessary and discloses the installer's network address.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

Installing the package, which runs the preinstall hook.

Impact

The endpoint can observe the installer's network address and associate the request with the hardcoded tag.

Mechanism

The hook runs index.js, which makes an HTTPS request to realwbx.com for a fixed IP lookup.

Attack narrative

The preinstall hook runs an example lookup that is unrelated to installation. It contacts a fixed external endpoint with a hardcoded authorization tag, exposing the installer's network address without a consent gate.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 88.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

The preinstall hook runs index.js automatically during installation.
The entrypoint sends an HTTPS lookup request to realwbx.com with a hardcoded authorization tag.
The entrypoint invokes the lookup unconditionally for a fixed public IP, without a consent check.

Evidence against

IP location lookup matches the package's stated purpose, but running its example during installation is not needed for that feature.
