HTTP failure triggers DNS-based fallback export. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes the preinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** A remote operator receives identifying information and the working directory without the installer invoking a package command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, beacon.js, beacon-config.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T08:28:04.173Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time host, user, and path exfiltration over HTTP with DNS fallback. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the preinstall hook runs beacon.js. The script obtains the machine host name, operating-system user name, and current working directory, encodes them, and sends them as HTTP headers to a remote callback. If that request fails, times out, or receives a non-success response, it performs DNS queries whose names contain the same encoded data. The collection occurs without an explicit package command from the installer. - **Rationale:** This package performs unconsented install-time collection and network exfiltration of host identity, user identity, and install-path data. Its embedded research-purpose statements are not sufficient to make this behavior safe for upstream installation. - **Files touched:** package.json, beacon.js, beacon-config.json - **Network endpoints:** http://45.76.249.245/beacon/Dl0X4pr0iz3pR1luglaGnut3kCyB\_vft/es6-migrator/1.0.0, vmjl1tkwxgoi3jamz7jvxw8py04i4twgz.oob.asm5.net, vmjl1tkwxgoi3jamz7jv9yuo6xrpwhgki.oob.asm5.net, vmjl1tkwxgoi3jamz7jvfjraso941aefb.oob.asm5.net ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** A preinstall hook automatically executes beacon.js during installation., The hook collects the host name, operating-system user name, and current working directory., It sends those values in HTTP headers to a configured remote callback., On HTTP failure it encodes the values into DNS lookup names and resolves three external domains. - **Evidence against:** No child-process execution, file reads, environment-variable access, or persistence was found., The package labels itself security research, but that claim does not remove the unconsented install-time collection. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.preinstall = node beacon.js ``` ### 2. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 3. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 4. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 5. Low: No License - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package manifest does not declare a clear license. ### 6. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() A preinstall hook automatically executes beacon.js during installation. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "scripts": { "preinstall": "node beacon.js" } ``` ### 7. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** beacon.js - **Public source:** [View source]() On HTTP failure it encodes the values into DNS lookup names and resolves three external domains. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript request.setTimeout(timeout, () => { resolveDnsFallback(attribution); request.destroy(); }); request.on("error", () => resolveDnsFallback(attribution)); request.end(); ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** preinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** es6-migrator - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.0 - **License:** UNLICENSED - **Version published:** 2026-08-27T08:20:29.302Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-27T08:28:04.173Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-27T08:28:04.173Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 1.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** AUTHORIZED BUG BOUNTY TEST - controlled dependency-confusion proof by HackerOne researcher izzet for finding 8300347c-b5e1-4718-a74a-9e1f27d828dc - **Keywords:** authorized-security-research, bug-bounty, dependency-confusion, hackerone, proof-of-concept - **Artifact files:** 7 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 13,764 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]()
