## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

The package's preinstall lifecycle script runs on npm install and collects the installer's local username (whoami), hostname, and public IP address (fetched via ifconfig.me), then transmits them as query-string parameters in an HTTP GET request to a hardcoded subdomain of oast.fun (kwphewvexhjbtfduscqybx6q7c862eh0g.oast.fun). oast.fun is an out-of-band interaction/callback service commonly used for reconnaissance and exfiltration in dependency-confusion attacks. The behavior fires automatically on default install with no relation to any documented package purpose.
