The npm package nitro-bundled-dep@0.0.1 presents itself as a 'Compatibility shim' but ships a beacon that POSTs installer host metadata — hostname, install path, current working directory, and Node version — to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc over plain HTTP. The beacon in beacon.cjs is invoked from package.json's postinstall script, so it fires automatically on npm install, and is also invoked from index.js so it fires again whenever the module is required. The main module exports a Proxy that returns no-op functions for any property access, allowing a victim build that imports this name to continue without errors after the beacon has executed — the shape of a dependency-confusion / name-squat payload whose purpose is to confirm successful code execution inside a target build environment and report host identifiers to an attacker-controlled collector.
