Summary
Malicious code in nodeaxois (npm)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: amazon-inspector (ebf1f3f7342689c11ad7e8c17a1c584fe3ce15615db82868b289d9613b48a41a)

The package declares scripts.postinstall: node.init.js, which runs automatically on npm install. The.init.js script collects host metadata (os.hostname(), os.platform(), process.cwd(), process.pid, timestamp), enumerates approximately 60 credential-shaped environment variables (NPM_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, STRIPE_, DOCKER_, CLOUDFLARE_, GCP, etc.), reads ~/.npmrc, ~/.env, ~/config.json, ~/credentials.json, and files under ~/.config/ whose names contain token/cred/secret, and POSTs the aggregated JSON to a hardcoded https://webhook.cool/at/tender-deer-80/ endpoint. The package's index.js exports an empty object; the tarball provides no legitimate functionality. The name is a likely typosquat of axios.
