The package @dransay/logger@99.0.0 ships a preinstall hook (node beacon.js) that fires on npm install. The script performs a DNS lookup and HTTPS GET to the interactsh collaborator host db3klhbi6i9hark1kegg174t38h33b6wt.oast.site, encoding the package name in the subdomain/path. The version number (99.0.0) is implausibly high for a package with no release history, consistent with a dependency-confusion squat intended to win semver resolution against a private internal name. On install, the beacon discloses the installer's source IP, DNS resolver, and timestamp to a third-party host under the scoped name @dransay/logger, confirming successful resolution of this public package in an environment that may have intended to resolve a private @dransay/* package. No further payload is executed in this version, but the install-time callback to an attacker-controlled OAST endpoint is the reconnaissance stage of a dependency-confusion attack.
