@ecg-internal/reviews-dialog-uinpm
Advisory published Updated
@ecg-internal/reviews-dialog-ui is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-18211) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious versions 0.0.1, 1.0.0, 1.0.1…). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @ecg-internal/reviews-dialog-ui (npm)
What this malware does
The npm package @ecg-internal/[email protected] is a dependency-confusion payload targeting an internal @ecg-internal/* scope. package.json declares a postinstall hook (node beacon.cjs) that runs on every npm install, and beacon.cjs POSTs the installer's hostname (os.hostname()), install path (__dirname), current working directory (process.cwd()), node version, and package name over plain HTTP to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc. The published main is a no-op Proxy object (module.exports = new Proxy({}, { get:... })) so consuming builds do not fail at require time, and the version 99.0.1 is set abnormally high to win semver resolution against any legitimate internal package of the same name. The scoped internal-looking name, inflated version, inert Proxy shim, and install-time callback together constitute the canonical dependency-confusion attack shape, delivering reconnaissance of the installer's build/CI environment to an attacker-controlled IP.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @ecg-internal/reviews-dialog-ui (7 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
@ecg-internal/reviews-dialog-ui establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If @ecg-internal/reviews-dialog-ui was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks @ecg-internal/reviews-dialog-ui-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
