Summary
Malicious code in commandor-lib (npm)
Details

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

The package's scripts/postinstall.js runs automatically on npm install and imports child_process alongside http.request with multiple POST call sites (lines 13, 95, 194). This pattern in a lifecycle hook — spawning subprocesses and posting data to an external HTTP endpoint at install time — is consistent with installer-side reconnaissance and exfiltration to an author-controlled destination and does not correspond to any documented purpose of a generically named library package.
