Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
Vulnetix · Advisory published September 4, 2026
easypanel-core ships an inert `module.exports = {}` main and places all functionality in a preinstall lifecycle script. On `npm install`, preinstall.js collects os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, process.cwd(), and the names of CI-related environment variables, base64url-encodes them, and transmits the data to `*.daco3v4q6f49egu1ds1gwjnsjb88s5kcp.oob.lyomeri.com` via both a DNS subdomain lookup and an HTTP GET to `/npm/<encoded>`. The package name mimics the easypanel project and the description advertises a 'client library', while the shipped library exports nothing and provides no functionality — the install-time beacon is the sole behavior. Judge assessment: This is a clear install-time beacon designed to exfiltrate host and CI environment data from npm installs, consistent with a package-takeover or typosquat attacker model rather than a legitimate client library. The `preinstall.js` script reads `os.hostname()`, `os.userInfo().username`, `process.cwd()`, and CI-related env var names, then sends the data to `easypanel-core.daco3v4q6f49egu1ds1gwjnsjb88s5kcp.oob.lyomeri.com` via both `dns.lookup()` and `http.request()`. The package ships as `easypanel-core` with a misleading description and no repository, while the library is effectively inert and the install hook is the sole behavior. The OSV advisory `MAL-2026-15897` is corroborated by the actual entrypoint content and recovered exfil domain, so this should be treated as malicious and submitted.
