    Summary: Malicious code in omniauth-recharge-rails-example (npm)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (27ec72eac9d0bae686eddce65991c912a23c97621648e3316cd05188038d17d7) The package's package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle script that runs `wget` against a hardcoded webhook.site URL (https://webhook.site/26e65e9b-fd9c-4f3f-beb3-063309f4d7d9/) with query parameters carrying `$(whoami)`, `$(pwd)`, and `$(hostname)` from the installer's machine. The request fires automatically on `npm install`, transmitting the installer's username, working directory path, and hostname to a third-party collector controlled by whoever provisioned the webhook token. This is the canonical dependency-confusion / namespace-squat beacon pattern used to prove reachability into an internal network by leaking host identity.
