Advisory PublishedCVSS 5.4/10
Vulnetix · Advisory published May 11, 2026
This package self-identifies as a dependency confusion proof-of-concept by 'awais0x1 bugcrowd' in its description, and the proof file written to disk is named 'dep-conf-poc-heloo131313.txt', strongly suggesting a bug bounty exercise rather than a criminal attack. However, the code is fully functional malware: it exfiltrates /etc/passwd contents, hostname, username, environment variables, and process metadata via six distinct channels (curl POST, DNS base64 exfil, HTTPS/HTTP POST, ICMP ping, Windows PowerShell GET) to the OAST callback host 727l3zqv7uomthr4hctkk9b72y8pwfk4.oastify.com. The publisher 'bugkiller0x1' has a 0.75 malicious ratio with three other packages already reported as critical malware, which conflicts with a clean bug-bounty researcher profile. Per adjudication rules, self-identified security test packages should be treated as suspicious-but-benign and not submitted to OSM to avoid database pollution.
