MAL-2026-4268 Malicious code in asavie-ui (npm)

callback.js collects host identity information (os.hostname(), os.userInfo()) and transmits it via https.get() to an external endpoint at install/load time. The combination of OS-level identity collection followed by outbound HTTPS in a callback script is consistent with installer reconnaissance/beaconing. The package name and structure (a 99.x.x version of a generic UI-named package) further suggests a non-legitimate publication. No corresponding legitimate functionality (no UI code, no documented purpose) accompanies the data-collection routine.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'asavie-ui' @ 99.0.2 (npm) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

• The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
