Advisory PublishedCVSS 5.4/10
This is an intentional npx-style attacker beacon that collects the local username and host details and POSTs them to a hardcoded OOB endpoint, matching a dependency-confusion or npmtyposquat exfiltration model. The entrypoint in `bin/cli.js` calls `execFileSync("whoami")` and falls back to `os.userInfo().username`, then sends `pkg`, `whoami`, `hostname`, and `platform` to with `fetch(..., { method: "POST" })`. The package metadata also says it is a "Minimal npx package that POSTs package name and whoami to an OOB callback," which confirms malicious intent rather than a false positive. The attacker model is a publisher abusing a freshly created npm account to enumerate victims and beacon installation context to an external callback.
