Source: amazon-inspector (d803002ee95ea92bdcb3a918e1be10930816db383ce2a58a6947afea84e04040) @asavie/i18n@99.0.0 is a dependency-confusion package targeting an unclaimed npm scope. Its package.json declares a `preinstall` hook that runs `node callback.js`, which on `npm install` reads `os.hostname()` and the output of `whoami` (callback.js L23, L28) and transmits them to the attacker-controlled out-of-band collector `d88r3mao12pqka8tg04gn4ychek66c3wj.oast.site` (an Interactsh subdomain) via both a DNS A-record lookup and an `https.get()` request with the data base64url-encoded into the subdomain (callback.js L21, L37, L46). Version `99.0.0` and the squat on the `@asavie` scope are the canonical dependency-confusion shape — any build that mistakenly resolves this scope from public npm leaks identifying host data to the publisher. The tarball additionally ships an unrelated ~123 MB `google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb`…

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-p2m2-v2jm-mxgq

Advisory: Malicious code in @asavie/i18n (npm)
IDs: GHSA-p2m2-v2jm-mxgq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/mal-2026-4265 (revision 1, source checked 14 Nov 2026, 07:30 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm @asavie/i18n: affected every version

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls @asavie/i18n --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on @asavie/i18n.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-4265 (OSV record MAL-2026-4265 lists affected ranges: npm @asavie/i18n >=0)
