Summary
Malicious code in @heartlandone-private/fontawesome-pro (npm)
Details
The package's postinstall lifecycle hook runs `node index.js`, which issues an HTTPS GET to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain at `e0fumpwx24ddfmenzmg0izs2atgk4es3.oastify.com/dependency-confusion` with a User-Agent identifying it as a dependency-confusion probe. On any `npm install` that resolves this scoped name, the request fires automatically and discloses installer identity (source IP, DNS resolver, timing, request metadata) to a third-party out-of-band interaction server controlled by whoever provisioned the Collaborator instance. The package name uses a private-scope pattern (`@heartlandone-private/fontawesome-pro`) that mimics an internal artifact, consistent with a dependency-confusion attempt aimed at organizations whose internal `@heartlandone-private` scope is not reserved on the public registry. Whether the operator's intent is authorized red-team testing or opportunistic exploitation, any consumer whose install pipeline resolves this public package receives install-time code execution and outbound network signalling to an attacker-controlled callback.
