OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-6297 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6297 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package is a dependency-confusion lure: it claims version 9999.99.99 with description 'npm 404 error referenced in AlexanderBrevig/tree-sitter-forth', engineered to win resolution when an internal build references a non-existent public package of this name. index.js is a hollow re-export (\`module.exports = require('tree-sitter-forth')\`) while postinstall.js fires the actual payload. On \`npm install\`, postinstall.js...

## Public findings

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

Package is a dependency-confusion lure: it claims version 9999.99.99 with description 'npm 404 error referenced in AlexanderBrevig/tree-sitter-forth', engineered to win resolution when an internal build references a non-existent public package of this name. index.js is a hollow re-export (\`module.exports = require('tree-sitter-forth')\`) while postinstall.js fires the actual payload. On \`npm install\`, postinstall.js collects host identity (os.hostname(), Node/OS versions, package name+version), probes 16 CI provider environment variables, harvests GitHub workflow/repo/owner env vars, and reads the configured npm registry URL, then POSTs the bundle as JSON to https://ddactic-lab.online/sc/beacon (postinstall.js:48). A DNS-exfil fallback encodes the package slug, CI label, and a hash into a subdomain of b.ddactic-lab.online (postinstall.js:62 \`dns.lookup(...b.ddactic-lab.online)\`) to bypass HTTP-blocking egress proxies. The leaked data — internal CI provider, private registry URL, GitHub repo/workflow names — is reconnaissance material for follow-on dependency-confusion attacks against the victim's internal infrastructure.
