util-foriepft@1.0.0 was published to npm on 2026-10-08 17:34 UTC by user regex33-hackerone. It is described as utility helpers but ships no library code: index.js is an empty module. thunderboltRegistry.js runs when the package is loaded, executes host commands through child_process and sends their output to a remote collector at dxpoc[.]gt[.]tc, and registry-manifest.min.json names Wix-internal modules (dependency confusion). Apart from the collector URL, thunderboltRegistry.js is byte-identical to the payload of css-overscroll-contain@1.0.1 (MAL-2026-17705), published from the same account. The package was still available on 2026-10-11.
