## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

application\_base@9999.0.0 runs callback.js from its preinstall lifecycle hook on \`npm install\`. The script collects os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, process.cwd(), the configured npm registry, and CI repo-slug environment variables (GITHUB\_REPOSITORY, CI\_PROJECT\_PATH, BUILD\_REPOSITORY\_NAME, BITBUCKET\_REPO\_FULL\_NAME, TRAVIS\_REPO\_SLUG, DRONE\_REPO, BUILDKITE\_PIPELINE\_SLUG, CIRCLE\_PROJECT\_REPONAME, JOB\_NAME), and issues an HTTP GET to http://75.119.137.232:31337/depconfuse with those values as query parameters. The bare-IP plain-HTTP destination is not a first-party telemetry endpoint. Combined with the 9999.0.0 version overshoot and the \`depconfuse\` path, this is a dependency-confusion reconnaissance beacon: it signals to the attacker whether an internal package name resolved to their public registry entry inside a target's build environment, along with the host, user, working directory, and CI repository identity needed to target that organization for a follow-on internal-package hijack.
