Summary: Malicious code in private-next-pages (npm)

Details: Source: amazon-inspector (00c6505c70734328f859fa758ad45ba680403a4cfeedd60d2f9e035b026bd45c) package.json declares a postinstall script that uses Node's child_process to execute reconnaissance commands (including `whoami`) and beacon results out via HTTPS. The script contacts https://api.ipify.org to resolve the installer's public IP, reads process.env, and sends data to an `.oast.fun` host — the Project Discovery `interact.sh` out-of-band testing service used as a generic exfiltration sink. On `npm install`, this fires automatically and leaks host identity, network egress IP, and environment variables to an attacker-controlled collector. There is no legitimate reason for a Next.js page utility package to perform host fingerprinting or beacon to an OOB interaction service at install time.
