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.

Version 99.99.2 encodes the hostname and username as hexadecimal query parameters and sends them to `accenture-npm.azurewebsites.net/test`; version 99.99.4 sends a GET request to `https://accenture-npm.azurewebsites.net/async`; and version 99.99.41 sends a GET request to `https://accenture-npm.azurewebsites.net/mfe`. The npm account `priyashareek` published it on 2026-10-13.\n\nThe package belongs to a dependency confusion campaign by `priyashareek` against the internal scopes @accenturecodefoundry and @newspage. @newspage/libx-amount and @newspage/lib-ng-async-routes-ui from the same publisher call back to the same host. The publisher used 99.99.x versions to outrank the internal packages; 0.0.0-stage and 99.99.1 are empty placeholders. Each beacon reveals the victim's egress IP and tells the operator the dependency confusion worked.\n\nThe package uses the @accenturecodefoundry scope with version 99.99.43 and the description 'A simple placeholder for npm.', consistent with a public squat targeting an internal Accenture-scoped package during dependency resolution. package.json declares a preinstall hook that runs index.js. On install, index.js reads HOSTNAME/COMPUTERNAME and USER/USERNAME from the environment, hex-encodes the concatenation, and issues an HTTPS GET to a hardcoded endpoint at accenture-npm.azurewebsites.net with the encoded identifiers in a query parameter. The destination is not a first-party Accenture domain and the behavior is undocumented. The combination of internal-scope impersonation, implausibly high version intended to win resolution against a private package, placeholder content, and an install-time beacon of host identity to an external endpoint is the dependency-confusion reconnaissance pattern.","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 @accenturecodefoundry/mfe-pot-shared-ui-scds-core (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-17867","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":[],"last_affected":[],"package":"@accenturecodefoundry/mfe-pot-shared-ui-scds-core","purl":"pkg:npm/%40accenturecodefoundry/mfe-pot-shared-ui-scds-core","source":"MAL-2026-17867"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-10-13","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-2026-17867/"}
