Summary
Malicious code in analytics-v2 (npm)
Details

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

Source: amazon-inspector (a589041eddd586d6269526f6c6e67f6b645994a24a143af07e35d8e2f9ce0982)

On npm install, the package's preinstall hook executes index.js which harvests host and user identity data (os.hostname(), os.platform(), os.arch(), os.userInfo() including username/uid/gid/shell, homedir, cwd) and captures the output of the shell commands whoami and id via child_process. The collected data is serialized as JSON and POSTed to the hardcoded endpoint https://839wbtybgrvpgbqzd0l8po2ozf56tyhn.oastify.com/system-info, a Burp Collaborator (oastify.com) out-of-band interaction subdomain unrelated to any legitimate analytics functionality. The behavior fires automatically as part of the npm install lifecycle with no user interaction.
