Vulnetix · Advisory published August 19, 2026
On npm install, the package's postinstall lifecycle script collects host identifiers (os.hostname(), platform, arch, Node.js version, package name, lifecycle event) and POSTs them as JSON to a hardcoded non-first-party endpoint at https://e14giapf.instances.poc.jchunt.top/karma-proxy. The beacon fires unconditionally on every install, with no user opt-in, no configuration, and no disclosure in the package's advertised purpose. The destination is an author-controlled subdomain unrelated to any npm registry or vendor infrastructure. Judge assessment: This is an install-time data-theft implant: the package's postinstall hook runs unconditionally and sends host metadata to a hardcoded attacker-controlled endpoint, matching the attacker model of dependency-confusion or supply-chain telemetry theft. In `postinstall.js`, the code gathers `process.env.npm_package_name`, `os.hostname()`, `process.platform`, `process.arch`, `process.version`, and `process.env.npm_lifecycle_event`, then POSTs them via `https.request` to `e14giapf.instances.poc.jchunt.top/karma-proxy`. The custom C2 domain is recovered in plaintext and classified as exfil, and the OSV advisory `MAL-2026-14267` corroborates the same unconditional beacon behavior. The package metadata is also burner-like (`author: r00tdaddy`, no description, no repository), which strengthens the supply-chain compromise assessment.
