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. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (2d2e0b35582727d314517ea66b234f665258076783678cdf645075a7294a0aed) [email protected] is a stub package whose only behavior is a beacon. The package.json postinstall script runs `node beacon.cjs`, which collects host identifiers (hostname, install path, process.cwd(), process.version) and POSTs them as JSON to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc over plaintext HTTP. The same beacon is re-fired on require(): index.js exports a Proxy that returns a no-op function for any property access and calls require('./beacon.cjs').fire() on load, so the exfiltration also triggers whenever a consumer imports the package. The package description is 'Compatibility shim.' with no real functionality — the Proxy-of-noops export is consistent with a dependency-confusion / name-squat beacon designed to confirm which internal names resolve to this public package and report back installer host metadata to the operator at 185.158.107.175:8787.
