Malicious code in @webapp-shared/login-vmok (npm)

@webapp-shared/login-vmok is a dependency-confusion package: it uses the @webapp-shared scope, which matches a private internal package scope, and was published on 2026-10-27 in versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0, 2.0.1, 3.0.0 and 99.0.1 so that builds resolving the internal name from the public registry install it instead. Its postinstall script runs node beacon.cjs, which sends an HTTP POST over cleartext HTTP to the hardcoded IP endpoint http://13.140.137.222:8787/_ah/dc with the package name, the machine's hostname, the install directory, the current working directory and the Node.js version; the entry point index.js sends the same request again whenever the package is loaded and otherwise has no functionality. The beacon code is the same as in other dependency-confusion packages sending to http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc (e.g. MAL-2026-18276), with only the endpoint and package name changed. The inert 0.0.0-stage and 0.1.0 placeholder versions carry no install script and are not affected. Any machine that installed an affected version has disclosed its hostname and filesystem layout to a third party; remove the package, pin or scope internal package names to the internal registry, and block 13.140.137.222 on build hosts.
