Summary
Malicious code in gemini-cli-a2a-server (npm)
Details

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

Source: amazon-inspector (5eb13d8d28e4c8363ceabe294b988cd42a82f1875af3f2a30310232154664afd)

On npm install, the package's postinstall script collects host identifiers (os.hostname(), platform, arch, Node version, and package/lifecycle metadata) and POSTs them via https.request to the hardcoded endpoint https://onpx9s3x.instances.poc.jchunt.top/gemini-cli-a2a-server. The package name mimics a private Google Gemini CLI a2a-server component, and a source.txt reference in the tarball points at that internal package — consistent with a dependency-confusion probe that pings out from any environment that inadvertently resolves this public name instead of the intended private one.
