Advisory PublishedCVSS 5.4/10
This looks like a deliberate npx-style OOB beacon meant to identify victims and phone home: the entrypoint in `bin/cli.js` runs on package execution and sends `pkg`, `whoami`, `hostname`, and `platform` to the hardcoded url. The attacker model is a dependency-confusion or test-package operator collecting environment fingerprints from anyone who executes the package, and the code explicitly uses `execFileSync("whoami")` plus a POST body to exfiltrate the data. The brand-new package, very new publisher account, single-version release, and no repository all reinforce that this is intentionally disposable malware rather than a legitimate library. The OSV MAL advisory is also corroborated by the actual code and not contradicted by the file contents.
