sc-geeksquad-core@9999.0.0
Malicious code in sc-geeksquad-core (npm)
Analysis
Dependency-confusion package with a preinstall hook that exfiltrates system and CI/CD environment metadata. The preinstall script (callback.js) collects the hostname, username, current working directory, npm registry URL, and CI/CD environment variables (GITHUB_REPOSITORY, CI_PROJECT_PATH, BUILD_REPOSITORY_NAME, BITBUCKET_REPO_FULL_NAME, TRAVIS_REPO_SLUG, DRONE_REPO, BUILDKITE_PIPELINE_SLUG, CIRCLE_PROJECT_REPONAME, JOB_NAME) and sends them via HTTP GET to 75[.]119[.]137[.]232:31337/depconfuse. The package has no functional code (index.js exports an empty object) and uses an inflated version number (9999.0.0) to take priority over any legitimate internal package with the same name.
