Malware: Executes code on install, exfiltrates data via DNS to a suspicious domain. Contains a preinstall script and phone-home behavior.
The package is a malware because it contains a preinstall script that executes arbitrary code (node index.js
). The index.js
file collects sensitive information (IP, MAC, hostname, username, CWD) and exfiltrates it via DNS resolution to a suspicious domain (d17u6rtjp2jt2l9c64u0mhagodssdwzxf.oast.me
). This behavior is highly indicative of malicious intent. The YARA rules nodejs_phone_home
and npm_preinstall_command
confirm this assessment.
