Early versions resolve \u003chostname\u003e.\u003ctag\u003e.dc.oob.s4yhii.com via DNS to beacon the victim's hostname. Later versions run `node index.js` from a preinstall hook, which loads a bundled native addon (prebuilds/\u003cplatform\u003e-\u003carch\u003e/metrics.node, Linux and Windows builds). The addon forks a detached process that collects hostname, username, OS/arch, cwd and the full values of CI/cloud secrets from environment variables (NPM_TOKEN, NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN, ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN, AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT and others) and sends them as JSON via HTTP POST /native to oob.s4yhii.com:9999.\n\nThe package ships a tiny JavaScript stub at index.js that silently require()s a compiled native addon at prebuilds/linux-x64/metrics.node inside a try/catch that suppresses errors. On load, the addon reads a hardcoded list of credential-bearing environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS session token, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN, ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN, SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN) along with hostname, user, cwd, and OS/arch, and sends them as a JSON body via a raw TCP socket (gethostbyname/socket/connect/send) in a 'POST /native HTTP/1.0' request to the hardcoded external host oob.s4yhii.com. The addon also imports fork and setsid, consistent with detaching into a background process so the exfiltration channel survives beyond the host Node process. The compiled ELF is the entire payload; the JS wrapper exposes no form-related functionality matching the stated 'form module' description. The package manifest (scoped name @brick-v2/form, inflated version 999.0.1, UNLICENSED, minimal metadata) matches the dependency-confusion shape used to outrank an internal private-registry package of the same scope.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Malicious code in @brick-v2/form (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-17716","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"malicious","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"@brick-v2/form","purl":"pkg:npm/%40brick-v2/form","source":"MAL-2026-17716"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-10-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"OpenSSF Malicious Packages","prefix":"MAL"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-17716/"}
