Summary
Malicious code in apple-internal-pki-trust (npm)
Details

Malicious npm package published by threat actor "raya4321" as part of a coordinated typosquatting campaign impersonating Apple internal infrastructure services (authentication, PKI, telemetry, CloudKit, and cloud infrastructure). All packages in this campaign execute credential-theft payloads during npm installation via preinstall or postinstall lifecycle hooks.

Trigger: preinstall. Exfiltrates Azure access tokens (~/.azure/accessTokens.json), git credentials (~/.git-credentials), and .env files from the home directory, base64-encoded, to https://franki.requestcatcher.com/apple_pre via curl.
