The encoded payload is exfiltrated to a hardcoded out-of-band host at easypanel-docker.daco3v4q6f49egu1ds1gwjnsjb88s5kcp.oob.lyomeri.com via both dns.lookup() (DNS tunneling) and an http.request() GET to /npm/<payload>. This fires automatically on `npm install`. The package name mimics the popular easypanel Docker deployment tooling, and the DNS+HTTP dual-channel OOB shape matches dependency-confusion / typosquat beacon activity; an in-source comment labelling this a benign canary does not change the behavior.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"easypanel-docker"},"versions":["1.0.0"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"preinstall.js","sha256":"c9abbf9a3719f952b8a33459c176665af9f0409ed84835af6e41ec604676dde2","tlsh":"8d1127b0d170527d057161c0646a46a29277dfd130e2c9c0683e66415fd26921bb3cfd"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"easypanel-docker-1.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"e9d14c6f77e756140da0feb216952a64b17072c1","sha512_sri":"sha512-qq6K5Xm+LU3br203TREo4gLbHCSl+J1USJNXJSIAudC/OxCURzt4fsJowhML/mJgLTOyD3p9+aL4iaQldJJtqw=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/easypanel-docker/v/1.0.0"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-019452","import_time":"2026-09-04T04:21:20.925669987Z","modified_time":"2026-09-04T03:45:45Z","sha256":"d43ed7789fb269c2613ce7b2442fdceab1b5e8b5360048d7bda2a63f0e9fac63","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"]}]}}
