🛡️ MAL-2026-6950 — whs4-nmp

Malicious code in whs4_nmp (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

The package's postinstall script runs node index.js on install, which invokes reportLoadedFrom to POST installer-side data to a hardcoded Discord webhook (discord.com/api/webhooks/1523336123319849031/...). The transmitted payload includes the absolute filesystem path of the install location (which leaks the user's home directory / username), the Node.js version, and process.platform/process.arch. There is no disclosure, opt-in, or configuration surface — the destination is a fixed author-controlled channel. Package naming (whs4_nmp, internal default whs4_typo) and README framing (typo 발생시 안내합니다) indicate a dependency-confusion / typosquat probe designed to notify the author whenever a mistyped install lands on a real machine, harvesting host identifiers without consent.
