The preinstall script collects installer-side identifiers — hostname, username, current working directory, and the names of CI-related environment variables — base64url-encodes them, and transmits them via both a DNS lookup and an HTTP request to a subdomain of oob.lyomeri.com (e.g. easypanel-api-client.\u003cencoded-chunk\u003e.oob.lyomeri.com, with the HTTP variant POSTing to /npm/\u003cencoded\u003e). The package has no functional code beyond this beacon, matching the dependency-confusion / namespace-squat research-beacon shape targeting internal package names.\n","modified":"2026-09-09T05:45:04.553104933Z","published":"2026-09-09T05:33:25Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-019841","import_time":"2026-09-09T05:40:09.141980959Z","modified_time":"2026-09-09T05:33:25Z","sha256":"cef6da51fcc215c514680417cfd3bacb5725b91a5b4a058fd6d2b161106209b0"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/easypanel-api-client/v/1.0.0"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"easypanel-api-client","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/easypanel-api-client"},"versions":["1.0.0"],"database_specific":{"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"preinstall.js","sha256":"a72a670f9d84e964cafb296cb609e1c44a40ac8d1214c9b3461fe4a9ebce4f8d","tlsh":"f91167b0c160927c016063c0741a46a29277dfd131e3c9d0682a26805fd22d21bf38fd"},{"sha256":"8222b8169ee86f25cdccd84d340340060ae3f0cff55e2ea9d344d7c332733b71","path":"index.js"}],"package_integrity":[{"hashes":{"sha1":"72bcf1c428959c58349d0fad51351426df945858","sha512_sri":"sha512-Tks1+SHTijnAY5FR4KbIDpa4ICvsfBIftvmz4lcTLbQnvXofoWJtLY0Y3yLxeFwD7YKDDYicBzcrmOg8goimhg=="},"filename":"easypanel-api-client-1.0.0.tgz"}]},"cwes":[{"description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506"}],"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/easypanel-api-client/MAL-2026-16073.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
