Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The service can observe installation activity and the installer’s network address; source inspection does not show local file collection or credential theft. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 88.2.5 - **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 preinstall hook triggers an unnecessary network request that identifies the package request and exposes installer network metadata. This supports blocking as install-hook abuse; the inspected source does not show credential or local-file theft. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T11:24:32.332Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T11:25:18.929Z - **Download time:** 774 ms - **Static scan time:** 33 ms - **AI review time:** 45789 ms - **Total time:** 46597 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:** Installation automatically makes an unnecessary request to the package’s lookup service. The request exposes the installer’s network address and includes a hardcoded tag. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its preinstall hook, which executes index.js and invokes the example lookup. - **Impact:** The service can observe installation activity and the installer’s network address; source inspection does not show local file collection or credential theft. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T11:25:18.929Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The example requests the location of a fixed public IP from realwbx.com, sends a hardcoded Authorization tag, and completes the HTTPS request without a consent check. - **Attack narrative:** The preinstall hook executes an example lookup automatically. That call sends a hardcoded Authorization tag to realwbx.com and exposes the installer’s network address. The lookup API matches the package’s stated function, but querying a fixed IP during installation serves no demonstrated setup need and has no consent gate. - **Rationale:** The preinstall hook triggers an unnecessary network request that identifies the package request and exposes installer network metadata. This supports blocking as install-hook abuse; the inspected source does not show credential or local-file theft. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://realwbx.com/ip.php ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The preinstall hook executes index.js, activating it during installation., The request sends a fixed-IP lookup to realwbx.com with a hardcoded Authorization tag and ends the HTTPS request., The example lookup runs at module load without a user action or consent check. - **Evidence against:** The request performs an IP-location lookup, which matches the package’s stated purpose; however, that does not explain running the example during installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to xapi-lib@88.2.5. - Avoid installing xapi-lib@88.2.5. 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.
