Detector rules that fired on this package:
- Package combines 4 high-risk capabilities (network, filesystem, process, obfuscation) across multiple findings — combined profile indicates likely malware
behavior.escalate.capability-combination - Install lifecycle hook (postinstall) executes a bundled script that itself contains malicious-behavior findings: install.js
behavior.scripts.install-hook-runs-flagged-script - Source writes to an AI-agent config/instruction file (CLAUDE.md / .claude / .cursor / MCP config / copilot-instructions / agent rules) — agent-control-surface tampering
behavior.static.agent-config-tamper - Source spawns a child process with a non-literal command
behavior.static.child-spawn-dynamic - Source loads a module from a non-literal name — opaque dependency
behavior.static.dynamic-require
