@grabcad/user-license@3.0.0

Summary

The package ships a beacon.cjs module that is wired to run both automatically on install (via package.json postinstall: node beacon.cjs) and on every load of the package (index.js calls require('./beacon.cjs').fire() at module top level). The beacon POSTs a JSON payload containing the installer's hostname, install directory, current working directory, and Node.js version to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc over cleartext HTTP. The main entry point additionally exports a Proxy whose get trap returns a no-op function for any accessed property, so consumer bundlers importing any named or default member of this package name silently succeed, concealing the fact that no real API is present while the beacon runs. The package name uses the @grabcad scope, consistent with a dependency-confusion lure targeting an internal package of that name. Self-descriptive strings framing this as an 'authorized dependency-confusion test' or 'build-provenance beacon' do not change the behavior: install and import of this package exfiltrate installer host identifiers to a hardcoded non-first-party bare-IP destination with no caller opt-in.
