The payload contains os.hostname(), os.userInfo() username, cwd, process.platform, node version, npm user agent, parent package name/version, and a fixed allowlist of CI-identifier env vars (GITHUB_REPOSITORY, GITHUB_ACTOR, GITHUB_REF, GITHUB_RUN_ID, EAS/VERCEL/BUILDKITE identifiers). The endpoint is overridable via ZEAL_CANARY_URL but defaults to the hardcoded aveliscare.com host. The package advertises publisher Zeal (getzeal.io, github.com/zeal-io); the beacon destination aveliscare.com does not match that publisher. The collected fields are host/CI identifiers rather than credentials or filesystem contents, and no code execution, credential read, or persistent artifact is present. The install-time/require-time outbound network without opt-out breaks air-gapped installs, and the publisher/destination-domain mismatch is the shape typical of a dependency-confusion canary used to log where a placeholder name resolves.\n\n---\n\nCredit: [OpenSSF](ht","public_affected_ranges":["= 0.0.0"]}],"null_published_at":"2026-10-31T23:18:22.388Z","source_updated_at":"2026-09-30T03:31:53.000Z","source_disclosed_at":"2026-09-30T03:31:46.000Z","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":"2026-10-31T23:13:53.199Z"}],"next_cursor":null,"snapshot_revision":"40769"}
