OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18698 confirms this npm version as malicious. wiasdcxc is a dependency-confusion package (versions up to 99.0.1) from the same campaign as troubleshooting (MAL-2026-17641): a postinstall script runs beacon.cjs, which POSTs the installing host's name, install path and working directory to a hard-coded collector, and index.js, byte-identical to the troubleshooting payload (sha256 a86a4da763bbb34c16f361abe7aab66d5df591b66867ac8160041f932159b08d), does the same... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-05T05:19:23.296Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-05T05:20:05.886Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 18 ms - **AI review time:** 42059 ms - **Total time:** 42590 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The package automatically reports machine and install metadata to a local HTTP endpoint during installation and when its entrypoint is imported. - **Trigger:** Package installation or importing index.js. - **Impact:** A local service can receive identifying installation metadata; the inspected code does not establish an external recipient or credential exposure. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, beacon.cjs, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-05T05:20:05.886Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** beacon.cjs posts the hostname, install path, working directory, and npm user-agent to 127.0.0.1:8787. - **Rationale:** Automatic install-time reporting of hostname and project paths creates a concrete metadata disclosure risk, though the recipient is restricted to localhost. This supports a warning rather than a block because no external exfiltration or other attack behavior is established. - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:8787/\_ah/dc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** The postinstall hook automatically runs beacon.cjs., The beacon sends package, hostname, install path, working directory, and npm user-agent metadata to a fixed localhost URL., Importing the main entrypoint also attempts to fire the beacon. - **Evidence against:** The destination is fixed at 127.0.0.1; no external endpoint or credential collection is shown. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to wiasdcxc@1.0.1. - Avoid installing wiasdcxc@1.0.1. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
