Vulnetix · Advisory published July 28, 2026
This package is a cloud environment reconnaissance and credential theft tool disguised as a string formatting utility. The postinstall.js script runs immediately on npm install via a postinstall hook and executes a shell pipeline that probes IMDS endpoints for AWS (169.254.169.254), GCP (metadata.google.internal), Azure, Alibaba Cloud (100.100.100.200), and Tencent Cloud (metadata.tencentyun.com), including explicit harvesting of AWS IAM security credentials stored to /tmp/.iam-creds. All collected data (hostname, username, cloud vendor, instance IDs, MAC addresses, IAM role names, and credential blobs up to 800 chars) is exfiltrated via a single curl GET request to the attacker-controlled OAST endpoint pzs5w7ntzhsnepwk564lyfdci3oucl0a.oastify.com. The comment '// v11: 云厂商元数据探测版' indicates this is an iterated campaign targeting cloud-deployed CI/CD or developer environments. The package has zero legitimate functionality and minimal metadata, consistent with a throwaway supply-chain attack package.
