On the next application start, the injected import patches Express and attaches this package's middleware to every new Express app. - **Trigger:** npm installation as a dependency, followed by starting the modified application. - **Impact:** The package takes control of consumer application startup behavior without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/\_projectEntry.js, src/auto.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T16:44:01.948Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall source injection followed by Express module monkey-patching. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the postinstall hook finds a JavaScript entry file in the consuming project and prepends a require or import for this package. That import runs at application startup, replaces Express's cached export, and automatically installs the package middleware on every new Express app. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign application control surface. - **Rationale:** The package deliberately rewrites consumer source during postinstall and causes runtime monkey-patching through the injected import. That concrete install-time behavior warrants blocking even though no exfiltration endpoint is present. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/\_projectEntry.js, auto.js, src/auto.js, consumer project JavaScript entry file ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The manifest runs a postinstall script automatically during installation., The postinstall script locates a consumer project's JavaScript entry file and writes an import into it., The injected import activates code that replaces Express's exported factory and adds middleware to every newly created app., This mutates unrelated consumer source without an explicit user command; an environment opt-out does not establish consent. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle code shows no credential collection or network transmission., The injected code is package-aligned Express middleware rather than a remote payload. ## Public findings ### 1.
