OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-12316 confirms this npm version as malicious. On npm install, the package runs dist/recon.js as a postinstall script that collects the installer's hostname, username, SUDO\_USER, home directory, current working directory, all local network interface IPs (including internal addresses), DNS domain, the full list of environment variable names, a filtered subset of env var names matching credential keywords (AWS, GCP, AZURE, NPM, TOKEN, SECRET, KEY, PASS, GITHUB,... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T13:30:18.056Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T13:30:18.056Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cryptosrvc/shift-exchange-root@3.9.9. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 3 recorded versions: 1.9.9, 2.9.9, 3.9.9. - Avoid installing @cryptosrvc/shift-exchange-root@3.9.9. 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% On npm install, the package runs dist/recon.js as a postinstall script that collects the installer's hostname, username, SUDO\_USER, home directory, current working directory, all local network interface IPs (including internal addresses), DNS domain, the full list of environment variable names, a filtered subset of env var names matching credential keywords (AWS, GCP, AZURE, NPM, TOKEN, SECRET, KEY, PASS, GITHUB, SSH), and CI indicators, and POSTs the JSON payload over plain HTTP to the hardcoded DigitalOcean address 138.68.108.20:80/cb. The file's header comment labels the collection as 'NON-SENSITIVE telemetry only' and the outgoing User-Agent is 'npm-install-telemetry/1.0', while the package's declared main entry (dist/index.js) is a math-utility stub unrelated to any telemetry function. The scope @cryptosrvc/shift-exchange-root resembles the legitimate @shiftforex/shift-exchange-root, consistent with a dependency-confusion or typosquat lure. Host identity plus internal network topology plus enumerated credential-shaped env var names constitute reconnaissance data suitable for follow-on targeted attacks against the installing environment. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** @cryptosrvc/shift-exchange-root - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 3.9.9 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-05T13:30:18.056Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-05T13:30:18.056Z - **Known versions:** 3 - **Latest version:** 3.9.9 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [OpenSSF JSON]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
