    Summary: Malicious code in blastradar (npm)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (e3eccd07c931ee578e1201f5fbb7f4610fd5291202c0fcee2b30c959c80c871e) The package's index.js loads child_process, https, and fs at the top level and performs an HTTPS POST that carries host- and installer-identifying data (references to process.env, process.cwd(), a hardcoded hostname, and filesystem probes via fs.existsSync). The composition — env/cwd/child_process reads combined with an outbound https.request POST to a hardcoded destination in the main module — matches the shape of an installer-side data exfiltration beacon rather than any documented library function. The package advertises no purpose that would justify posting environment variables and working-directory information to a remote host on load. Source: ghsa-malware (75d95c6cb483df4961cb4a29d4cde8e4c849ba82678a2fbad90585d4afaa1f1a) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
