High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The npm package ksp-client-registry@100.100.100 ships a prebuilt native addon at prebuilds/linux-x64/addon.node that is loaded by the package main (index.js require of./prebuilds/linux-x64/addon). On load the addon reads the HOSTNAME, npm\_package\_name, and npm\_config\_registry environment variables and opens a raw TCP socket to the hardcoded IP 64.181.165.115, sending them in an HTTP request of the form 'POST /dc HTTP/1.0' with a body shaped as 'h=\&p=\&u=\&r=\'. ELF strings corroborate the behavior: '64.181.165.115', 'POST /dc HTTP/1.0', 'Host: 64.181.165.115', 'HOSTNAME', 'npm\_package\_name', 'npm\_config\_registry', and imports of socket/connect/send/fork/getenv/inet\_pton. package.json declares a postinstall ('node postinstall.js') providing an install-time footprint, and any require() of the package triggers the beacon regardless. The addon exposes no legitimate N-API functionality beyond module registration. The implausibly high version (100.100.100) and generic registry-style name are consistent with a dependency-confusion probe designed to be resolved in place of an internal package and to report back the victim host, internal package name, and configured registry URL to the operator. ## 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:** ksp-client-registry - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 100.100.101 - **Version published:** 2026-10-09T18:49:54.937Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-10-11T14:35:06.972Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-10-11T14:35:06.972Z - **Known versions:** 2 - **Latest version:** 100.100.101 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
