What this malware does
Package [email protected] exhibits the canonical dependency-confusion shape: an internal-sounding name targeting a UiPath/SugarSell namespace, a 99.9.1 version overshoot designed to win semver resolution against any private registry, an empty index.js (module.exports = {}) so the package provides no actual functionality, and a single dependency ltidisafe declared as a direct URL https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-2.7.8.tgz. The path segment depenconf is explicit naming of the dependency-confusion technique. Installing this package causes npm to fetch and install the off-registry tarball from the Google Cloud Storage bucket, bypassing the public registry's audit surface; any lifecycle scripts in that tarball execute on the installer's machine at npm install time, and the tarball contents are mutable by whoever controls the bucket.
