The syft-acp-core package was published to the npm registry by user 'ada8877' (maintainer email k3mlol@proton.me) as part of a dependency-confusion / reconnaissance campaign. The package name mimics the 'syft-acp' internal/private package naming convention (an ACP component library) of a target organization, so that a misconfigured resolver installs this public lookalike instead of the intended private dependency. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-04T23:35:07.478Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-04T23:35:07.478Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The syft-acp-core package was published to the npm registry by user 'ada8877' (maintainer email k3mlol@proton.me) as part of a dependency-confusion / reconnaissance campaign. The package name mimics the 'syft-acp' internal/private package naming convention (an ACP component library) of a target organization, so that a misconfigured resolver installs this public lookalike instead of the intended private dependency. The package declares a preinstall hook ("npm install @sentry/node && node examples/verify.js") that executes automatically at npm install time, before any application code runs. The bundled examples/verify.js initializes the @sentry/node client against a hardcoded, attacker-controlled Sentry DSN with sendDefaultPii enabled, resolves the installing host's public egress IP address by requesting Cloudflare's /cdn-cgi/trace endpoint (using a spoofed desktop-browser User-Agent to bypass bot challenges), then deliberately triggers a runtime exception and captures it. Flushing the event beacons the collected host telemetry (public IP plus Sentry default PII such as hostname, OS username and runtime/environment metadata) to the attacker's Sentry ingest endpoint at o4510485815754752.ingest.us.sentry.io. Each impersonated namespace in the campaign beacons to a distinct Sentry project ID, letting the operator attribute successful installs to specific victim organizations — behaviour consistent with a dependency-confusion reconnaissance beacon rather than legitimate error monitoring. The install-time payload is byte-for-byte identical to the earlier 'click2ai' campaign, sharing the same Sentry organization (o4510485815754752) and a related ProtonMail maintainer identity, and differs only in the package name and target DSN. This package's beacon targets Sentry project 4511744089718784. --- \#\# Source: amazon-inspector (46bcb30b019b3455aa12747ac76d9aae4cc307eff76b61075c67c01304bdf625) package.json declares a preinstall hook \`npm install @sentry/node && node examples/verify.js\` that fires on every \`npm install\`. examples/verify.js resolves the installer's public IP via https://www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace, attaches it as ip\_address on a Sentry user, and captures a synthetic exception. The event is uploaded to a hardcoded DEFAULT\_DSN pointing at Sentry org o4510485815754752.ingest.us.sentry.io/4511744089718784, which the installer did not configure. src/index.js additionally hardcodes the same DEFAULT\_DSN as the library's default and forces sendDefaultPii: true, so consumers that call init() without supplying their own DSN or SENTRY\_DSN environment variable send their captured errors and PII to the same author-controlled Sentry project instead of their own. ## 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:** syft-acp-core - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 16.0.0 - **Version published:** 2026-07-16T08:46:14.631Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-04T23:35:07.478Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-06T15:05:07.118Z - **Known versions:** 2 - **Latest version:** 1.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [WEB]() - [PACKAGE]()
