    Summary: Malicious code in tetomood (npm)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (6c09686feb7c38e815ef9a615a6ceba2444029a34ea9d6bee8598a76bc8e8f92) package.json declares both preinstall and postinstall scripts that invoke wget to POST the installer's current working directory ($(pwd)) and machine hostname ($(hostname)) to a hardcoded Discord webhook endpoint on discord.com at install time. The tarball ships only package.json (611 bytes); the declared main entry index.js is absent, so the package has no legitimate functionality — the lifecycle beacons are its sole purpose. Installing the package causes automatic host reconnaissance data to be sent to an author-controlled remote endpoint without consent.
