The dns module is loaded via string concatenation (`'d'+'n'+'s'`) and the `whoami` command is similarly split, indicating deliberate obfuscation of the module and command names. The package's declared main entry is an empty stub with no library functionality, so the preinstall beacon is the package's only behavior. Installing this package auto-executes an unauthenticated exfiltration of installer identity metadata to a third-party DNS endpoint the installer did not opt into.\n\n## Source: ossf-package-analysis (a32a318956967c92b753750e0b607e48db7eef07d05f25c2b687f3b9612f806e)\nThe OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'reactjs-risk' @ 99.17.1 (npm) as malicious.\n\nIt is considered malicious because:\n\n- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.\n\n- The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.\n","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-30T09:30:37+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-09-30T15:00:05.9056823+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"reactjs-risk","ranges":[],"versions":["99.17.1","99.17.2","99.9.9","99.17.4","99.12.0","99.17.0"],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://www.npmjs.com/package/reactjs-risk/v/99.17.2","https://www.npmjs.com/package/reactjs-risk/v/99.17.1","https://www.npmjs.com/package/reactjs-risk/v/99.9.9","https://www.npmjs.com/package/reactjs-risk/v/99.17.4","https://www.npmjs.com/package/reactjs-risk/v/99.12.0","https://www.npmjs.com/package/reactjs-risk/v/99.17.0"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-17339","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:MAL-2026-17339","identifiers":["MAL-2026-17339"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
