Description

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (63dac830216ae445ebe7c5f45534e479d73a23a098ea9fc5740eeded5ebab4c9) On `npm install`, the package's preinstall script (preinstall.js) collects the installer's hostname, OS username, current working directory, and a timestamp, then sends them to two attacker-style out-of-band endpoints: a DNS lookup of a subdomain under `oast.fun` (an Interactsh-style callback service) constructed from the installer's identifiers, and an HTTPS POST of a JSON payload to a `webhook.site` URL. The package itself provides no functionality — it is a high-version (99.0.1) namespace-confusion lure against an internal `@aonunited/angular` package, designed so that any environment whose resolver picks the public registry copy will auto-execute the beacon. Although the metadata describes this as authorized HackerOne VDP research, the package is published to the public npm registry, so any developer or build system that installs or mistypes it leaks host fingerprints to third-party infrastructure without consent. ## Source: ghsa-malware (edcefa4f7ecdb8b1bf87735af2b0de89a74794dda4d8fbac66b99eaa7914d861) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (411e19a999b3354e6b5ad40e6da82882c1bf314a35d722ade7b3e23eb9c4a46c) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified '@aonunited/angular' @ 99.0.1 (npm) as malicious. It is considered malicious because: - The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

Technical Analysis

The '@aonunited/angular' package at versions 99.0.0 and 99.0.1 contains a preinstall script that collects sensitive environment data (hostname, OS username, working directory, timestamp) and exfiltrates it via DNS lookups and HTTPS POST requests to attacker-controlled domains. The package is a high-version namespace-confusion lure against an internal package of the same name, causing automatic execution of the malicious beacon on installation. It does not provide any legitimate functionality and is publicly available on the npm registry, leading to inadvertent data leakage. The OpenSSF Package Analysis and other sources classify it as malicious. There is no CVSS score or official patch available.

Potential Impact

Systems that install this package leak sensitive host identifiers to attacker-controlled infrastructure, potentially exposing environment details. According to one source, any computer with this package installed should be considered fully compromised, with all secrets and keys rotated immediately. Removal of the package alone may not guarantee full remediation due to possible further compromise.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix is available. The package should be removed immediately from any affected systems. All secrets and credentials stored on compromised machines should be rotated from a separate, trusted environment. Avoid installing or resolving this package from the public npm registry. Monitor dependency configurations to prevent namespace confusion attacks. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory or trusted sources for updates.
