Its only real behavior is beacon.cjs, which collects host and install identifiers (hostname, install path, process.cwd(), process.version, package name/user-agent) and POSTs them to the hardcoded bare-IP HTTP endpoint http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc. The beacon fires both automatically at install time via scripts.postinstall and again when the module is loaded via require(), because index.js invokes beacon.fire(). The shape — stub module, hardcoded non-DNS bare-IP C2 over plain HTTP, collection of installer host identifiers at install and require time — is consistent with a dependency-confusion / internal-name-squat reconnaissance beacon reporting successful installation inside private build environments.\n","affected":[{"package":{"name":"some-very-long-package-name","ecosystem":"npm"},"versions":["2.0.0","1.0.0","3.0.0","2.0.1","99.0.1"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"beacon.cjs","sha256":"361835d3d97ac10514094bbe705d86b9274ea5242bc0a7171ae69e3e7522b72f","tlsh":"88314deba8e0a008aaaa7498d54f1409b27af0079401af50f95c82919f6193c33ba8dc"},{"path":"index.js","sha256":"a86a4da763bbb34c16f361abe7aab66d5df591b66867ac8160041f932159b08d","tlsh":"2201d0d7225661b10b5221a4978f43c4a3b99d74027941d0d84a9226365108c463b8ee"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"some-very-long-package-name-2.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"79da1179b5d812a1cf39a9cc850d0978ba57b9ea","sha512_sri":"sha512-tRPTsZErPtx+oIe/EB3rxEta4NHM05C0grp94a9Rlxq28xuTRzPPuMtRRDEiYoo4WGQxj0PhNz1lkKGRuQ9wtg=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/some-very-long-package-name/v/2.0.0"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/some-very-long-package-name/v/1.0.0"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/some-very-long-package-name/v/3.0.0"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/some-very-long-package-name/v/2.0.1"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/some-very-long-package-name/v/99.0.1"}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-021407","import_time":"2026-10-11T14:18:03.047903557Z","modified_time":"2026-10-11T13:54:49Z","sha256":"1ce120698c1be7e98866ccdff0987f7b77f53377e525284f311363b79f5ea397","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["2.0.0"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-021437","import_time":"2026-10-11T14:18:05.867751424Z","modified_time":"2026-10-11T13:59:32Z","sha256":"5ff2c62f8ba9aff2b9a3d40aabc54116bf6522b9e048c362999642dcfcbe8f27","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-021438","import_time":"2026-10-11T14:18:06.00540939Z","modified_time":"2026-10-11T13:59:42Z","sha256":"60ddbb54f68f4722fff212d66ceabc2675695a0f899749b34980f6176126024e","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["3.0.0"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-021435","import_time":"2026-10-11T14:18:05.71519449Z","modified_time":"2026-10-11T13:59:10Z","sha256":"f81246a5c2ed84f640a9ab381bb84122a2f0c75fce7cb992dafcdc6b6736fcab","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["2.0.1"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-021449","import_time":"2026-10-11T17:15:51.662346786Z","modified_time":"2026-10-11T16:53:21Z","sha256":"58c08ea2abb307f6ecb9a1896fcc3980e9a1eaf8b29044db67cd985654e1db16","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["99.0.1"]}]},"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
