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.

Both the DNS query and the HTTPS request embed the package name, so any machine that resolves and installs this scoped name sends an unsolicited out-of-band callback carrying the installing host's source IP, resolver identity, timing, and the internal package name to a third-party collector. The implausibly high `99.0.0` version against a scoped name is the dependency-confusion shape — the artifact is intended to win resolution against an internal `@dransay/secrets` and beacon from whichever build environment resolves it, disclosing internal network and build-system identity. No functional library code accompanies the beacon; the package's only on-install effect is the callback.\n","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-08T07:57:07+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-12T04:45:05.8738114+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@dransay/secrets","ranges":[],"versions":["99.0.0"],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dransay/secrets/v/99.0.0","https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dransay/secrets"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-17699","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:MAL-2026-17699","identifiers":["MAL-2026-17699"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
