Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The majority of the code is standard and non-malicious, but the obfuscated code at the end is highly suspicious and indicates potential malicious intent or a backdoor. Due to the obfuscation, it is not immediately clear what actions it performs, but the nature of the obfuscation is a common indicator of a supply chain attack or an attempt to hide malicious behavior.

This file collects sensitive system data, including the user’s home directory, hostname, username, DNS server information, and contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts. It then transmits these details over HTTPS to wgg3zm3e6fkshhhzw2dbfrcufllcl0bo0[.]oastify[.]com. This unauthorized exfiltration of system information indicates malicious intent and poses a high security risk.

The package contains a hidden payload that targets Russian language users visiting Russian and Belarusian sites. For those users, it will disable user interaction and play a looping audio of the Ukrainian anthem after 3 days. Therefore, it is marked as protestware only because it freezes interactions for many users. This behavior is not disclosed in any documentation of the package and seriously disrupts user experience.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The source code implements malicious behavior by stealthily collecting sensitive system and package information and exfiltrating it to a suspicious external server without user consent. This represents a serious supply chain security risk involving privacy violation and potential compromise of user environments. Immediate action should be taken to remove or block this dependency.

This code collects sensitive system and environment information, including hostname, platform, architecture, OS release, username, and environment variables, and sends this data to an external server at 389eo5yq9ymnuonqqadxi0sgd7jy7ovd[.]oastify[.]com using HTTPS GET and POST requests. The data exfiltration occurs during the package installation process via the 'postinstall.js' script, without user consent or knowledge. The use of a suspicious domain associated with out-of-band application security testing services suggests malicious intent and poses a significant security risk, including potential exposure of sensitive data and secrets contained within environment variables.
