@accenturecodefoundry/mfe-pot-shared-ui-scds-core describes itself as “A simple placeholder for npm.” Its preinstall hook runs node index.js || true on npm install. Version 99.99.2 encodes the hostname and username as hexadecimal query parameters and sends them to accenture-npm.azurewebsites.net/test; version 99.99.4 sends a GET request to https://accenture-npm.azurewebsites.net/async; and version 99.99.41 sends a GET request to https://accenture-npm.azurewebsites.net/mfe. The npm account priyashareek published it on 2026-10-13.
The package belongs to a dependency confusion campaign by priyashareek against the internal scopes @accenturecodefoundry and @newspage. @newspage/libx-amount and @newspage/lib-ng-async-routes-ui from the same publisher call back to the same host. The publisher used 99.99.x versions to outrank the internal packages; 0.0.0-stage and 99.99.1 are empty placeholders. Each beacon reveals the victim's egress IP and tells the operator the dependency confusion worked.
