The dxpoc.gt.tc host is a dynamic-DNS domain unrelated to any legitimate publisher. The package's exported surface (thunderboltRegistry, siteAssetsRegistry, documentManagementRegistry, editorRegistry, corvidRegistry) mirrors internal Wix thunderbolt registry module names and the shipped manifest references static.parastorage.com, consistent with a dependency-confusion/module-impersonation lure targeting Wix build environments.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"tiny-focusgroup-helper"},"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":"thunderboltRegistry.js","sha256":"72cefe23c4ceb63af7f6e0031306415507928009c3859e3b5d7e6ce178987b02","tlsh":"376134a5b99df02166c33438cfbf404aa4bb85632d6caed0b44899f02f7985c01ba5f5"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"tiny-focusgroup-helper-1.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"e39042d1d89dc3ff8f55c7c03414c3c695429059","sha512_sri":"sha512-O/ABISexj2nQkgLnUkKZoA0FaHRgqiFEsldOxbxJMO8dAuNtkv1ESwtM84HBZtLCYRWNqzz3Ywp/uBEO4ZSaQA=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/tiny-focusgroup-helper/v/1.0.0"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-020951","import_time":"2026-10-04T23:40:45.239974523Z","modified_time":"2026-10-04T23:24:59Z","sha256":"9c6d210f6c61d0ec49fac4bf487a2d71966b1f3dd59653d8a8fdf12e04f9b306","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"]}]}}
