Description

Malicious code in react-v17 (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

Package name 'react-v17' impersonates the legitimate 'react' package. package.json declares a preinstall hook 'node index.js' that auto-executes on npm install. index.js collects installer identity and host details (os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), os.platform/arch, home directory, cwd) and runs 'whoami' and 'id' via child_process.exec, then HTTPS POSTs the aggregate JSON to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator OOB endpoint at https://1jlay7gzya8akcmqs8repdf7oyupim6b.oastify.com/detox56. The tarball also ships an undeclared ~10.9 KB file 'i' next to index.js that is not referenced by package.json or index.js.
