High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The iphouse package was published to the npm registry by user 'jonothhu' (maintainer email bruemleveroger@gmail.com) as one of 19 packages in a dependency-confusion campaign targeting the 'markscan', 'akrai', and 'iphouse' namespaces, published in both unscoped and scoped (@scope/name) forms so that a misconfigured resolver installs the public lookalike instead of an intended private/internal dependency. Each package self-describes as an 'AUTHORIZED SECURITY RESEARCH CANARY' (static token PATHC-CANARY-2026, contact farouqsa@proton.me), but ships an unconsented install-time beacon and provides no legitimate functionality. The package declares a postinstall hook ("node postinstall.js") that executes automatically on npm install. The bundled postinstall.js collects host reconnaissance - the package/canary name, the static token 'PATHC-CANARY-2026', an event label, a UTC timestamp, the Node.js version, the current working directory, the platform, and os.hostname() - and exfiltrates it via HTTPS POST to a hardcoded anonymous dead-drop at https://webhook.site/129cb2ee-ba08-4b3c-989c-270dc0030350 (the same collector across all 19 packages). Request errors are swallowed. The self-attestation of 'authorized security research' present in the package metadata is unverifiable and does not change the disposition: the package performs unconsented telemetry collection and exfiltration at install time to an anonymous collector, matching the behavior of a dependency-confusion reconnaissance beacon. Install-time behavior and the shared collector endpoint were confirmed by static analysis of a sample spanning all three namespaces and both scoped and unscoped variants. --- \#\# Source: amazon-inspector (70186abda59a78392fa403a58be7f3604692b279a7fdd625271b1e00bf53e7f2) iphouse@1.0.0 ships a postinstall.js lifecycle script that runs unconditionally on \`npm install\`. It collects installer host identifiers (hostname, platform, current working directory, node version, timestamp) and POSTs them as JSON to a hardcoded webhook.site endpoint (https://webhook.site/129cb2ee-ba08-4b3c-989c-270dc0030350) controlled by the package author. There is no opt-in, no disclosure to the installer, and no legitimate package functionality accompanying the beacon — the package's only behavior is host-metadata exfiltration to an anonymous author-controlled endpoint. ## 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:** iphouse - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.0 - **Version published:** 2026-07-20T01:11:02.381Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-04T23:25:08.311Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-04T23:25:08.311Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 1.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [WEB]() - [PACKAGE]()
