    What is affected, what to do

    @goparrot-dashboard/analytics is a dependency-confusion probe: it takes a name in a `@goparrot-dashboard` scope that its publisher created on npm, next to GoParrot's public `@goparrot` scope, so a build that resolves that scope from npm gets it instead of a private package of the same name. Version 0.0.1 has no install scripts, and its `index.js` only prints a "[rootxravi-poc-security] @goparrot-dashboard/analytics" marker when loaded.

    Uninstall the package, isolate affected environments and rotate credentials that were available during installation.

    Severity

    Priority (0–325)

    The priority score is a consolidated metric that condenses several individual signals into a single, action-guiding ranking: technical severity (CVSS), exploitation likelihood (EPSS), known-exploited status (KEV) and the context of the affected asset. The aim is to answer the only truly important question in vulnerability management: what first?

    30.00 Methodology
    Exploit maturity

    An exploit is code or a technique that specifically uses a concrete vulnerability to force unintended behaviour — such as executing code or escalating privileges. It is the tool that turns a theoretical flaw into a practical attack.

    no public PoC known
    KEV status

    The KEV catalogue is a list maintained by the US authority CISA of vulnerabilities for which active exploitation in the wild has been confirmed. It answers not the question „how severe?“ but „is it already being attacked?“ — thereby sharply prioritising patching.

    Classification under NIS2 and CRA

    Rule-based classification from exploitation status and severity. It does not replace a case-by-case assessment.

    NIS2

    NIS2 is EU Directive (EU) 2022/2555 to raise the level of cybersecurity across the Union. It substantially broadens obligations compared with the first NIS directive: more sectors, mandatory risk management, staged reporting duties and personal accountability of senior management.

    High technical severity: assess and remediate the vulnerability in vulnerability handling under Art. 21(2)(e) NIS2 and document the decision.
    CRA

    The CRA is EU Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 setting horizontal cybersecurity requirements for „products with digital elements“ — from industrial controllers and software to connected consumer devices. For the first time manufacturers must ensure security across the entire product lifecycle, handle vulnerabilities and provide security updates.

    Read in glossary
    From 11.12.2027, Annex I Part II CRA requires manufacturers of affected products with digital elements to handle vulnerabilities without delay and provide security updates.
    ISO/IEC 27001

    ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally leading standard for an information security management system (ISMS). It describes a risk-based, process-oriented framework to systematically plan, implement, review and improve information security.

    Description

    @goparrot-dashboard/analytics is a dependency-confusion probe: it takes a name in a `@goparrot-dashboard` scope that its publisher created on npm, next to GoParrot's public `@goparrot` scope, so a build that resolves that scope from npm gets it instead of a private package of the same name. Version 0.0.1 has no install scripts, and its `index.js` only prints a "[rootxravi-poc-security] @goparrot-dashboard/analytics" marker when loaded. The npm account devtest91001 published it on 2026-11-01 with 24 other packages in `@goparrot-dashboard` and `@goparrot-dashboard-api`, including @goparrot-dashboard/app, whose 0.0.2 sends the hostname, user and working directory to an interactsh callback host (`iuczektmwpudhwqnsbkgc6m8nx2dgn5vc.oast.fun`) from a preinstall script.
