yastatic-s3npm

Package name mimics Yandex's yastatic static-asset namespace. On install, postinstall.js performs an unconditional plain-HTTP GET to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://130.49.177.51:18080/p/dc-20260627-yandex-geobase with query parameters carrying only the package name, version, and a fixed nonce. No environment variables, filesystem contents, credentials, or host identifiers are read or transmitted, and no code is fetched or executed from the remote endpoint. The behavior is a namespace-squatting placeholder with an install-time execution beacon: it confirms to the operator of the bare-IP endpoint that a target environment misresolved the public name into a private dependency tree. Installing this package does not exfiltrate installer data or execute attacker-controlled code, but it does reveal internal install activity to a third-party endpoint and occupies a namespace that resembles a well-known vendor's.

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.
