Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This is a classic install-time trojan that uses the npm preinstall hook in `package.json` to run `scripts/check-env.js`, then performs host reconnaissance and sends it to a webhook.site C2 endpoint. The payload enumerates `~/.ssh`, `crontab -l`, `/etc/passwd`, environment secrets, network state, and system services, then conditionally executes attacker-supplied `cfg.cmd` or downloads and runs a remote binary via `cfg.url`, matching an attacker model of credential theft plus remote code execution. The use of `child_process.execSync`, `http(s)`-style exfiltration through `https://webhook.site/0c5803fc-bdd6-4dd0-8c57-68ee0cabac29`, and cron/persistence checks is not consistent with a legitimate helper library. Minimal metadata and the lack of a source repository further support a throwaway malicious package.
