Malicious code in css-a11y-contrast-utils (npm)
Collected exploitation and prediction evidence
Risk source coverageCISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.
No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

Published--- _-= Per source details.

The package instead defines a Proxy stub exposing identifiers from Wix's internal Thunderbolt registry namespace (thunderboltRegistry, siteAssetsRegistry, editorRegistry, corvidRegistry, etc.), and its manifest points at static.parastorage.com/unpkg/css-a11y-contrast-utils, consistent with a dependency-confusion squat targeting a private Wix registry. On module load, thunderboltRegistry.js runs an IIFE that executes `hostname`, `id`, and `uname -r` via child_process and exfiltrates the collected host, uid, kernel version, Node version, and pid by (a) issuing DNS lookups to subdomains of the hardcoded OAST collector davdpb8lhot13kgmnhp0863x9g83mpswq.oast.live and (b) HTTP GET to the hardcoded webhook https://webhook.site/0492a36c-4d7b-408a-865c-226db25987ba. The cover-story metadata plus internal-registry naming plus the on-load recon beacon make the entire purpose of the package a dependency-confusion payload against installers that resolve any of these registry names.
