Advisory PublishedCVSS 8.8/10
This package has a package.json that declares a postinstall hook that runs canary.js, which issues an HTTP GET to bare IP 157.230.17.236 on port 80 with query parameters including os.hostname(), the package name and version, a nonce, and a lifecycle phase. The package name `ac_semantic-ui_ts` paired with the inflated version `99.99.100` is the canonical dependency-confusion shape — designed to win resolution over an internal/private registry entry of the same name. Any installer who resolves this package from public npm silently transmits their host identifier to an unencrypted, hardcoded, non-publisher endpoint with no opt-in. The README self-describes as an 'authorized benign dependency-confusion canary,' but the supply-chain mechanism — install-time exfiltration of installer host metadata to a third-party IP — is identical to a malicious dependency-confusion beacon, and any installer who pulls this unintentionally has their hostname leaked.
