--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (5ab1895c73507311b9efd31e40015529d9d7735c87e50cf3b714e6e520205ec4) The package is a stub whose index.js exports a Proxy returning no-op functions for every property access, allowing bundlers that import any member of the expected real package to succeed. The package.json declares a postinstall script , and index.js also loads the same beacon at require() time. beacon.cjs collects installer host metadata — os.hostname(), the install directory (__dirname), process.cwd(), and process.version — and POSTs it to the hardcoded plain-HTTP bare-IP endpoint http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc. The destination is not affiliated with any legitimate publisher, the package provides no real functionality, and an in-source comment frames successful installs as evidence of a hit — matching the canonical dependency-confusion / namesquat validator shape where host identity is reported back to the operator to confirm which internal environments resolved the attacker-controlled scoped name. ## Source: ghsa-malware (c6086a597c82083008b56986eb1c97cc226ee28f095e500ecd0fc9259536c783) Any 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.
