Indexed incident for ai-node-agent (npm).
All published JavaScript in dist/ (index.js, client.js, server.js, react.js, and sibling chunks) is heavily obfuscated using javascript-obfuscator (declared as a devDependency) with the hex-identifier and shuffled string-array dispatcher style. The package declares no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hooks; no fetch-and-execute against remote hosts, no reads of installer-secret paths (~/.aws, ~/.ssh, ~/.npmrc, browser profiles), no enumeration of process.env, and no hardcoded credentials or attacker-controlled C2 endpoints were observed in the entry points reviewed. The 'ping/GET/id' keyword co-occurrence flagged in dist/server.js fires inside the obfuscated bundle and is not corroborated by any reachable exfiltration path in the files read. Obfuscation of the entire shipped surface makes the code unauditable and is a legitimate transparency concern for an 'ai-node-agent' library — reviewers should weigh maintainer trust before adopting — but on its own does not meet the threshold for a published block.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
