Its `preinstall` hook runs on npm install as `node beacon.js` and sends a DNS lookup and an HTTPS GET to `db3klhbi6i9hark1kegg174t38h33b6wt.oast.site`, using the package name in the request; npm account `0xamino_hunter` published it on 2026-10-08.\n\n---\n_-= Per source details.

The implausibly high version number (99.0.0) and the preinstall callback are consistent with a dependency-confusion probe: any environment resolving this name reveals its egress IP and the package name to the operator of the collaborator host. No installer secrets, environment variables, or filesystem contents are read; the beacon transmits only install metadata (source IP, package name, DNS resolver). No code is fetched or executed from the remote host, and no persistence is established.\n\n## Source: ossf-package-analysis (82ababa5637b2f53f5087a161eeba1b6ca6ddba6d31ebb7842614bf0da119fa7)\nThe OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified '@dransay/address-validation' @ 99.0.0 (npm) as malicious.\n\nIt is considered malicious because:\n\n- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.\n","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-08T08:00:26+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-12T04:45:05.9177268+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@dransay/address-validation","ranges":[],"versions":["99.0.0"],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dransay/address-validation/v/99.0.0","https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dransay/address-validation"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-17668","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:MAL-2026-17668","identifiers":["MAL-2026-17668"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
