What this malware does
[email protected] is an empty placeholder package (index.js exports {}, description/author blank, version bumped to 99.9.1 — the classic dependency-confusion override shape) whose only on-install effect is dependency resolution. Its package.json declares a transitive dependency ltidisafe resolved from a hardcoded non-registry tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-2.9.6.tgz) on a Google Cloud Storage bucket. The path segment literally contains depenconf, indicating dependency-confusion tooling. On npm install commons-ui-styles, npm fetches whatever bytes that bucket currently serves and installs them as a dependency; any preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle scripts in the fetched tarball run on the installer's host. The bucket owner controls the payload contents at any time, with no version pinning to the npm registry, no integrity check beyond what npm computes against the live download, and no relationship to a documented publisher.
