🛡️ MAL-2026-4633 — osep-api-hub-service-client-v1

Malicious code in osep-api-hub-service-client-v1 (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

package.json declares "preinstall": "node index.js", causing index.js to run automatically on npm install. index.js collects host identifiers — os.hostname(), os.userInfo() (username/uid/gid/shell), os.homedir(), process.platform, process.arch, process.cwd() — and additionally shells out via child_process to whoami and id. The collected JSON is POSTed to the hardcoded URL https://0pqbxi1hplohnif3fa7tyc1at1zsnobd.oastify.com/detox56, a Burp Collaborator (oastify.com) subdomain controlled by whoever published the package. The package name mimics an internal-sounding scoped client and ships with empty author/description metadata, consistent with a dependency-confusion attack targeting a private package namespace. Any developer or CI system that installs this package immediately leaks host and user identity to the attacker's Collaborator endpoint.
