OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-10895 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package is self-identified as a dependency-confusion proof-of-concept.

## Public findings

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

Package is self-identified as a dependency-confusion proof-of-concept. Its postinstall hook (src/canary.js) performs a DNS lookup and HTTPS GET to a hardcoded Serveo tunnel host (96e03fa6c292469a-172-245-86-254.serveousercontent.com), sending only the package's own name and version as query parameters. No environment variables, credentials, filesystem contents, or other installer data are read or transmitted; the only signal the operator gains is the installer's public egress IP from the inbound request metadata. README discloses the canary purpose. Concerns: install-time outbound network without opt-out (breaks air-gapped/sandboxed CI), destination is a third-party mutable tunneling endpoint rather than publisher-owned infrastructure, and the canary version coordinate (99.0.0-canary.1) is shaped to win dependency-confusion races against private packages. No credential theft, no code execution of remote content, no persistence.
