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 @epic-common/observability-node@0.0.1-security. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 4 recorded versions: 0.0.1, 10.10.1, 10.10.2, 0.0.1-security. - Avoid installing @epic-common/observability-node@0.0.1-security. 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% Package targets the private @epic-common scope (Epic Games) and is published to the public npm registry as a dependency-confusion vehicle. On import of the./api subpath, top-level code enumerates all process.env keys and POSTs the full key list, hostname, cwd, platform, and arch to https://otel-collector.ramanmgg1.workers.dev/da32b89f213c91a0. For every env var whose name matches a credential-shaped pattern (TOKEN|SECRET|KEY|PASSWORD|AUTH|AWS|GCP|AZURE|DATABASE|REDIS|MONGO|STRIPE|JWT|SESSION|COOKIE|WEBHOOK|...), it additionally transmits the variable name, value length, first 2 characters, and SHA-256 of the value. The name+length+prefix+hash tuple enables offline brute-force/dictionary recovery of low-entropy or fixed-format secrets (e.g., AWS access keys). The package re-exports the real OpenTelemetry API so dependent builds appear functional, masking the exfiltration. Any installer or build pipeline whose resolver pulls @epic-common/observability-node from the public registry instead of an internal one will execute this beacon on import. Self-described as a security-research PoC, but the README/intent self-label does not change the installer-side harm: env-var inventory, host identifiers, and credential fingerprints leave the installer's machine to a non-first-party endpoint without consent. ## 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:** @epic-common/observability-node - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.0.1-security - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-07-13T20:11:53.189Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-08T17:25:10.588Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-17T05:55:06.118Z - **Known versions:** 4 - **Latest version:** 0.0.1-security - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Security holding package - **Maintainers:** anthony.thomas - **Artifact files:** 1 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 282 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
