Malicious code in @newspage/lib-ng-async-routes-ui (npm)
Published Oct 13, 2026 · updated Oct 14, 2026
npm user 'priyashareek' published this package in a dependency confusion campaign against the internal scopes @accenturecodefoundry and @newspage. The publisher used 99.99.x versions to outrank the internal packages. 0.0.0-stage and 99.99.1 are empty placeholders. In version 99.99.4, index.js sends an HTTPS GET to attacker-controlled host accenture-npm.azurewebsites.net (/async). The same publisher's @accenturecodefoundry/mfe-pot-shared-ui-scds-core calls back to that host. The 'preinstall' script in these versions is empty; the publisher put 'node index.js || true' in the 'main' field instead, likely by mistake. Node.js can't resolve that 'main' target and falls back to index.js, so the beacon fires when code requires or imports the package, not during install.
