@ppa-web-components/ppa-hotel-collection@1.1.0 is a stub package whose only functional code is a callback beacon. The package.json declares scripts.postinstall: "node beacon.cjs", and the same beacon.cjs is also triggered via the main entry on require(). beacon.cjs collects os.hostname(), __dirname, process.cwd(), and process.version/npm version and POSTs them to the hardcoded bare-IP URL http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc over cleartext HTTP. The destination is unrelated to any legitimate publisher infrastructure for the @ppa-web-components scope. The package's only export is a no-op Proxy, and the description self-labels as "Compatibility shim." with internal comments noting that a build which "completes and calls back is cleaner evidence" — consistent with a dependency-confusion probe targeting an internal @ppa-web-components namespace. Installing or requiring the package automatically exfiltrates host and path identifiers to attacker-controlled infrastructure, marking the installer's build system as reachable for follow-on targeting.
