Vulnetix · Advisory published August 13, 2026
This looks like a dependency-confusion or burner-package exfiltration implant: the install hook runs `postinstall.js`, which immediately posts JSON containing `process.env.npm_package_name`, `os.hostname()`, `process.platform`, `process.arch`, `process.version`, and `process.env.npm_lifecycle_event` to a hardcoded custom C2 domain. The attacker model is straightforward—collect host fingerprinting on install and ship it off to an attacker-controlled endpoint without user interaction, which is not legitimate package behaviour. The empty metadata, no repository, and minimal author footprint reinforce that this is a throwaway package built to run on victim machines. There is no plausible benign explanation for the combination of `postinstall` execution plus environment/system-info exfiltration to a plaintext-controlled endpoint.
