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-2026-18208/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-18208/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-18208","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-18208/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-18208","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g8hh-8pxg-jr3x"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The package publishes under the internal-looking scope `@ecg-internal/` and ships a `postinstall` script (`beacon.cjs`) plus a top-level `require()` side effect in `index.js` that call a `fire()` function. `fire()` POSTs a JSON payload containing `os.hostname()`, the install `__dirname`, `process.cwd()`, and the Node version to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint `http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc` over plain HTTP. `index.js` otherwise exports a `Proxy` whose property access returns a no-op function, and an in-source comment states that 'a build that completes and calls back is cleaner evidence' — the module provides no real functionality and exists only to produce an install-time callback. The combination of an internal-scope name, a stub module, and an automatic bare-IP beacon carrying installer host identifiers is a dependency-confusion probe: build pipelines that mistakenly resolve this public package instead of the intended private `@ecg-internal/favourites-ui` disclose internal hostnames and build-path information to the operator of 185.158.107.175.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
