Summary: Malicious code in blinkit-core (npm)

Details: Source: amazon-inspector (2ca70b0a6be36daf245deb50dd6b3595a9bfba29c62770e82365152a02832cf8) On `npm install`, the package's `preinstall` lifecycle hook runs `curl` against `http://d8s0b82plbq3u5sb2vo0sb3a9obr4yjt7.oast.site/` and POSTs the installer's hostname (`hostname -f`), current user (`whoami`), working directory, and a base64-encoded dump of the entire process environment (`env | base64 -w0`) — which on CI/build hosts routinely contains tokens, cloud credentials, and registry auth. The package itself is hollow: `index.js` only exports `{ name, version }` and provides no functionality. The `repository.url` claims `git+https://github.com/zomato/blinkit-core.git` while publishing under that internal-sounding name on the public registry, matching the canonical dependency-confusion attacker shape against Zomato's internal `blinkit-core` namespace. Installer harm: any build pipeline that resolves this public package instead of an internal mirror leaks host identity and the full environment (including secrets) to the attacker's out-of-band interaction listener at install time, before any other code runs.
