🛡️ MAL-2026-11152 — tidal-embed-player

Malicious code in tidal-embed-player (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

package.json declares a preinstall hook that runs index.js on npm install. index.js collects host identifiers (os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, homedir, DNS servers, cwd), reads the package.json, and reads /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts from the installer host, then POSTs the combined payload over HTTPS to 1rtlwocct2ruj1kc2njqbw96wx2qqhe6.oastify.com — a Burp Collaborator subdomain used to receive out-of-band callbacks. The package name suggests a Tidal media embed player but the shipped code performs only host reconnaissance and exfiltration, with no player functionality.
