Every version was published to cause harm.\n\nTask:\n1. Search this repository's dependency manifests and lockfiles for the package, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4. If the package is not used anywhere, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-17498/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-17498/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-17498","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-17498/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-17498","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2c7v-rmgw-3xrp"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The package is a stub whose index.js exports a Proxy returning no-op functions for every property access, allowing bundlers that import any member of the expected real package to succeed. The package.json declares a postinstall script `node beacon.cjs`, and index.js also loads the same beacon at require() time. beacon.cjs collects installer host metadata — os.hostname(), the install directory (__dirname), process.cwd(), and process.version — and POSTs it to the hardcoded plain-HTTP bare-IP endpoint http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc. The destination is not affiliated with any legitimate publisher, the package provides no real functionality, and an in-source comment frames successful installs as evidence of a hit — matching the canonical dependency-confusion / namesquat validator shape where host identity is reported back to the operator to confirm which internal environments resolved the attacker-controlled scoped name.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
