On `npm install`, npm fetches whatever bytes that URL returns and installs the resulting package, executing any lifecycle scripts it contains — with no version pin, no integrity hash, and no signature verification. The package name resembles an internal Paychex scope, the version is an implausibly high `99.9.1` (a dependency-confusion resolution tactic), the URL path segment is `depenconf`, and the host is unrelated to any legitimate Paychex or pdftron domain. The manifest alone is the attack surface: resolving this dependency pulls attacker-controlled code into the installer's build environment.\n\n---\n\nCredit: OpenSSF (source)","public_affected_ranges":["= 99.9.1"]}],"null_published_at":"2026-10-31T22:13:22.850Z","source_updated_at":"2026-10-25T15:31:43.000Z","source_disclosed_at":"2026-10-25T15:31:37.000Z","is_synthetic_fixture":false,"null_last_reviewed_at":null,"public_change_summary":"First indexed by Null; source disclosure date is shown separately.","null_first_observed_at":"2026-10-31T21:56:59.340Z"}],"next_cursor":null,"snapshot_revision":"42594"}
