Its only real behavior is a beacon implemented in beacon.cjs that collects installer host identifiers (os.hostname(), __dirname, process.cwd(), process.version, and related os/process fields) and POSTs them over plain HTTP to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc. The beacon fires both from the postinstall lifecycle script (triggered automatically by npm install) and at require() time of the main entry. The destination is not a publisher-owned domain, is not configurable, and is not disclosed. The scoped name, implausibly high version (99.0.1), stub implementation, and install-time recon beacon are consistent with a dependency-confusion or typosquat probe harvesting internal installs.\n","modified":"2026-10-25T15:30:05.457653693Z","published":"2026-10-25T15:09:29Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"import_time":"2026-10-25T15:15:15.469550707Z","modified_time":"2026-10-25T15:09:29Z","sha256":"2f7afa65da63d3360d15659ebdcce5f5078fa7bd210e04c069f88834f0c1f75c","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["99.0.1"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-021705"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/@drone-js-ext/vip-badge/v/99.0.1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"@drone-js-ext/vip-badge","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/%40drone-js-ext/vip-badge"},"versions":["99.0.1"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"sha256":"566a01cf4e155a8664de6672ea54db5e8604946e10f79079ee17006c80166498","tlsh":"8e3161eba8e0a0489aa67498c94f0409f27af4468401ab50fd5c82915f6153c33fa8dc","path":"beacon.cjs"},{"path":"index.js","sha256":"a86a4da763bbb34c16f361abe7aab66d5df591b66867ac8160041f932159b08d","tlsh":"2201d0d7225661b10b5221a4978f43c4a3b99d74027941d0d84a9226365108c463b8ee"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"vip-badge-99.0.1.tgz","hashes":{"sha512_sri":"sha512-l14wF+MlYU9fkLA2+pM5QJc78D2g6SUdAJEtVj4zNl02l9dwBgDxPgZI/iN0U0PLnfv+mcxHyons+k87nmqL/w==","sha1":"b24d2fc904d573fbab38335048db479ad0c7c1ca"}}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/@drone-js-ext/vip-badge/MAL-2026-18277.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
