Malicious code in axios-fast (npm)

axios-fast@1.0.1 declares a preinstall lifecycle script in package.json that runs a Node one-liner which POSTs the entire process.env of the installing machine to a hardcoded webhook.site inbox (https://webhook.site/31e82bcd-a220-42e6-82f0-4f082e8fa80e/). The script fires automatically on npm install, before any code is reviewed, and dumps all environment variables — routinely including AWS_*, NPMTOKEN, GHTOKEN, and other CI/build secrets — to a third-party attacker-controlled endpoint. The package name typosquats the popular axios HTTP client but its shipped functionality is limited to this install-time exfiltration.
