Summary
Malicious code in buyerdashboard (npm)
Details

buyerdashboard@45.3.4 describes itself as "User dashboard IP info". Its preinstall hook runs node index.js on npm install and requests https://realwbx.com/ip.php?ip=8.8.8.8 with the hardcoded Authorization value 8eb5e8641a5795b022d68e14d8858415, which differs from the value in each of the account's other packages. The npm account conx3993 published it on 2026-10-15, one of 9 packages from that account between 2026-09-30 and 2026-10-15 whose preinstall hook calls realwbx.com.
