Summary
Malicious code in @newspage/lib-ng-async-routes-ui (npm)
Details

npm user 'priyashareek' published this package in a dependency confusion campaign against the internal scopes @accenturecodefoundry and @newspage. The publisher used 99.99.x versions to outrank the internal packages. 0.0.0-stage and 99.99.1 are empty placeholders. In version 99.99.4, index.js sends an HTTPS GET to attacker-controlled host accenture-npm.azurewebsites.net (/async). The same publisher's @accenturecodefoundry/mfe-pot-shared-ui-scds-core calls back to that host. The 'preinstall' script in these versions is empty; the publisher put 'node index.js || true' in the 'main' field instead, likely by mistake. Node.js can't resolve that 'main' target and falls back to index.js, so the beacon fires when code requires or imports the package, not during install.

@newspage/lib-ng-async-routes-ui@99.99.4 is a dependency-confusion artifact. The scoped name impersonates an internal-sounding namespace, and the implausibly high version (99.99.4) is the standard technique for winning resolution against a lower-versioned private package of the same name. On require(), the main module unconditionally issues an HTTPS GET to the hardcoded host accenture-npm.azurewebsites.net at the path /async, causing any environment that resolves and loads the package to beacon out to that endpoint. The outbound request discloses source IP and request metadata to the operator of that Azure Web App, confirming to an external party that an internal build or developer machine has pulled a package under this scope. No first-party relationship or caller consent exists; the destination is an external Azure Web App, not an Accenture-controlled domain.
