AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Direct source inspection confirms unconsented install-time host fingerprint exfiltration. This is concrete malicious behavior, not an inert test artifact. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-26T17:39:42.287Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-26T17:40:00.049Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 22 ms - **AI review time:** 17232 ms - **Total time:** 17762 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:** npm installation automatically executes index.js. It fingerprints the host and exfiltrates the JSON result to an external OAST endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Unconsented disclosure of host identity, home-directory path, and DNS configuration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, xo-twofa-28.0.0.tgz - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-26T17:40:00.049Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time host fingerprinting and HTTPS exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes its preinstall hook, which executes index.js without user interaction. That script gathers local host and network-identifying data and POSTs it to an external OAST endpoint. The package description identifies it as a dependency-confusion proof of concept, consistent with this install-time callback behavior. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms unconsented install-time host fingerprint exfiltration. This is concrete malicious behavior, not an inert test artifact. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, xo-twofa-28.0.0.tgz - **Network endpoints:** f4k2mnpoengdb7o3etftn7fmkdq5ew5ku.oastify.com/hit ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json runs \`node index.js\` via preinstall., index.js collects hostname, OS, architecture, home directory, and DNS servers., index.js POSTs collected host data to f4k2mnpoengdb7o3etftn7fmkdq5ew5ku.oastify.com/hit during install. - **Evidence against:** No credential-file reads, shell execution, or payload download found in the inspected files., Bundled archive contains the same two-file source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to xo-twofa@28.0.0. - Avoid installing xo-twofa@28.0.0. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
