Summary

Dependency-confusion package sends the username and hostname via DNS to an oast.fun collector

Details

@azure-growth/signup-ux-components 1.2.2, 1.2.3 and 2.9.9 are dependency-confusion packages that take the name of a package used internally by Microsoft's Azure signup site and not published on the npm registry; 2.9.9 carries a version number above the internal release, so resolvers that also check the public registry prefer it. Their preinstall script runs node index.js, which reads the OS username and hostname and sends them in a DNS lookup of msrc-poc.<user>.<hostname>.dbg6vplohjpkmtolbi6g18ekofkxjzm4s.oast.fun, an out-of-band interaction collector; index.js is also the package entry point, so the lookup repeats whenever the package is required. Any machine that installed one of these versions has disclosed its username and hostname to a third party. The earlier 0.0.0-stage version is an inert placeholder and is not affected.
