Summary
Malicious code in @tesla-insurance/vinless-quote (npm)
Details

The package declares an install lifecycle script (node index.js) that loads runtime/support/telemetry/probe/impl.js. On npm install, this probe collects the OS username (os.userInfo().username), hostname (os.hostname()), and the basename of the current working directory, joins them with a static prefix into a DNS label, and issues dns.resolve4() against a subdomain of oob.algamil7x.xyz — a covert DNS-based exfiltration channel that bypasses HTTP egress filtering. Both the destination host and the module names (os, dns, process) are obfuscated as String.fromCharCode byte arrays, and modules are loaded via module.constructor._load rather than plain require, hiding the hostile endpoint and the primitives used to reach it. The package is published under a vendor-branded scope (@tesla-insurance/vinless-quote) unrelated to the attacker domain, consistent with a social-engineering wrapper around the exfiltration payload.

Source: ghsa-malware (177675920d7326f3ba010b417c3fc22f275eda24d7593e2c6167fc1ff1874715)

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
