@demica/shared@99.99.100 declares `postinstall: node canary.js postinstall` in package.json, which fires automatically on `npm install`. canary.js issues a plaintext HTTP GET to bare IP 157.230.17.236:80 at path `/dc?...` with query parameters including `os.hostname()`, the package name/version, a nonce, and the lifecycle phase. The installer's host identifier is disclosed to a third-party endpoint over unauthenticated HTTP without consent. The package self-describes as a 'dependency-confusion canary' and uses an inflated version (99.99.100) under the @demica scope to outrank a presumed internal package of the same name — the canonical dependency-confusion attack shape. Regardless of the operator's stated intent, any party that resolves this public package on `npm install` is beaconed to an attacker-shaped destination (bare IP, plaintext HTTP, no opt-out).
