The package's own description and comments label it a 'HubSpot dependency confusion PoC', and the 99.99.99-poc2 version is the canonical high-version shape used to win resolution against an internal package of the same name. Regardless of the 'PoC' framing, the package is published on the public npm registry and any installer (CI, developer machine, internal build) that resolves the name will have its host identifiers and environment variable names beaconed to an attacker-controlled collector and DNS sink, enabling internal-network mapping and follow-on targeting.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (8595830013c2298b23fd077af3a2e8ce9722520fdfff68d04ef8135ce11173ca)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.\n","affected":[{"package":{"name":"signup-embedder","ecosystem":"npm"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["99.99.99-poc2","99.99.99-poc3","99.99.99"],"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"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"preinstall.js","sha256":"41313c196b7d939fa62548a1db6949d3e599decef5c8e3b8e7df831e03c316a2","tlsh":"462111d5d0e8b75406f2f7d0d1aa121165fbd8159a4269f19011a2a33fa667803638ed"},{"path":"postinstall.js","sha256":"9fa18174543325644f9a5fb47c15e7fb826a46ff45f70120ce8416cc9c095135","tlsh":"a101f1d094e4a7641771f784d1f9122612bfc819eb075df4d01583673f5512c03268ad"},{"path":"package.json","sha256":"0f5b8ef96004fcad96c7836ebcabd0661dee33e7746d24da01cb444b11fb7421","tlsh":"b1e068304801f7327cc4ebe69913401a21ed4c45c33409b862c30082238e5bd987f012"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"signup-embedder-99.99.99-poc2.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"f5d75f93e3481ce8148d3989d38e45a76407a0e9","sha512_sri":"sha512-5KckNEj3mfAYTEkKTpfaQqovpx8dFG9D2zfrY4qsZZ7Njf6ALZjPj5FpBoVfZLA9Jmfqfnk4tQJ4TUt4R7hOxg=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/signup-embedder/v/99.99.99-poc2"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/signup-embedder/v/99.99.99-poc3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8j4q-hx83-pfq9"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/signup-embedder/v/99.99.99"}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-007435","import_time":"2026-06-24T15:01:17.731382219Z","modified_time":"2026-06-24T14:05:10Z","sha256":"c48f398f700b78d1893db4570d5d6f16985d937ee79677aab97e673a1cf86e7e","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["99.99.99-poc2"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-007450","import_time":"2026-06-25T00:57:07.030050542Z","modified_time":"2026-06-25T00:24:57Z","sha256":"40e099c9ff8cac8636bf152cfd90311c15fc38418e8095f813f06cd97f339b1a","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["99.99.99-poc3"]},{"id":"GHSA-8j4q-hx83-pfq9","import_time":"2026-06-25T03:23:52.147345005Z","modified_time":"2026-06-25T02:16:09Z","ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"}],"type":"SEMVER"}],"sha256":"8595830013c2298b23fd077af3a2e8ce9722520fdfff68d04ef8135ce11173ca","source":"ghsa-malware"},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-008117","import_time":"2026-07-08T17:01:31.8816401Z","modified_time":"2026-07-08T16:27:17Z","sha256":"8f780904b5360b54163a83607ce3127ed6c3712522041b24c277fd22f3fa38d1","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["99.99.99"]},{"id":"RLMA-2026-05610","import_time":"2026-07-20T13:14:51.002192639Z","modified_time":"2026-07-20T10:58:38Z","sha256":"94096b58b8d3377f2adb777443adb39155864206ea309af10d09429f4e8332e6","source":"reversing-labs","versions":["99.99.99-poc3","99.99.99"]},{"id":"RLUA-2026-06487","import_time":"2026-09-01T11:18:24.173279317Z","modified_time":"2026-08-24T17:10:44Z","sha256":"b9b8751b51125e72583f2732ef48ad8ac2f1731592e56590ba865699b006cf57","source":"reversing-labs","versions":["99.99.99-poc2"]}]},"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"},{"name":"ReversingLabs","contact":["https://www.reversinglabs.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
