gunzip-js @99.9.1

Summary

gunzip-js@99.9.1 is a near-empty npm package (typosquat of the well-known gunzip-maybe / gunzip family) whose package.json declares its sole dependency ltidisafe as an HTTPS tarball URL — https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.7.2.tgz — instead of a version resolved from the npm registry. On npm install , npm downloads that tarball from the anonymous Google Cloud Storage bucket and installs it into node_modules, executing any lifecycle scripts (preinstall/install/postinstall) and any top-level code reached via require. The GCS bucket is not associated with any known publisher, the path segment depenconf mirrors the term dependency-confusion, the version 99.9.1 is the classic high-number squat pattern, and the package's own index.js is empty — the only effect of installing gunzip-js is to pull attacker-controlled code from an unaudited external host into the installer's dependency graph.
