The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 3 recorded versions: 99.0.0, 99.0.1, 99.0.3. - Avoid installing @asavie/i18n@99.0.3. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% @asavie/i18n@99.0.0 is a dependency-confusion package targeting an unclaimed npm scope. Its package.json declares a \`preinstall\` hook that runs \`node callback.js\`, which on \`npm install\` reads \`os.hostname()\` and the output of \`whoami\` (callback.js L23, L28) and transmits them to the attacker-controlled out-of-band collector \`d88r3mao12pqka8tg04gn4ychek66c3wj.oast.site\` (an Interactsh subdomain) via both a DNS A-record lookup and an \`https.get()\` request with the data base64url-encoded into the subdomain (callback.js L21, L37, L46). Version \`99.0.0\` and the squat on the \`@asavie\` scope are the canonical dependency-confusion shape — any build that mistakenly resolves this scope from public npm leaks identifying host data to the publisher. The tarball additionally ships an unrelated ~123 MB \`google-chrome-stable\_current\_amd64.deb\` that is not referenced by any code path; it is not executed but represents either staging or registry abuse. Author claims of 'authorized research' are unverifiable by installers and do not change the installer-side outcome: unsolicited exfiltration of host identifiers on \`npm install\`. \#\# Source: ossf-package-analysis (c72462533b89e20b39c2336d38a51d34b95330c056845b95a3b390740cadc803) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified '@asavie/i18n' @ 99.0.1 (npm) as malicious.
