Details: Source: amazon-inspector (addd30fd6d90110d178ea017b2968c6014dab0e8304bdfeb55b13612a75f61da) Package auto-executes a preinstall script (`node test.js`) on `npm install` that collects username, hostname, platform, Node version, and CI flag and POSTs them to `https://eeazmrabqcquvqjfubjp6jkk2qq9p3acn.oast.fun/dex`. `index.js` additionally runs `whoami` and `id` via child_process, gathers hostname/uid/gid/homedir/cwd/shell, and POSTs the results to `https://rsnchacyin4dnjv0oc8prrwn1e77vzjo.oastify.com/detox56`. The exfil payload carries a `package: "company-internal-canary-2026", version: "99.0.0"` label, indicating a dependency-confusion probe against an internal package namespace. Both destinations are out-of-band interaction service domains (interact.sh / Burp Collaborator) used to capture installer identifiers.
