Malicious code in @orion-design-system/components (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

package.json declares a preinstall hook that runs an inline node -e script reading os.hostname() and os.userInfo().username and transmitting them via HTTPS GET (and a DNS lookup) to d8kn5vlt5p5h1j34mbcgbx1nffwjobfoh.oast.fun, an interactsh/OAST callback subdomain not controlled by the installer. The hook fires automatically on npm install, with no opt-out. The package is published under the @orion-design-system scope at version 9999.0.0 — the canonical dependency-confusion bait version — and the README names Cloud Imperium Games / Roberts Space Industries as the intended target, confirming the package is positioned to be resolved over a private internal package of the same name. Any installer whose resolver picks the public version (intentionally or via misconfiguration) leaks host identifiers to a third-party collection endpoint on install. The 9999.0.0 version pin combined with the scope-targeted README and unconditional install-time beacon places this firmly in the active-attack / dependency-confusion-exfil pattern, regardless of any research framing.
