## Public findings

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

Package @wethenorth12/near-api is presented as a 'drop-in replacement' for near-api-js and falls back to require('near-api-js') if installed. On require(), the main module reads process.env in full together with hostname, username, homedir, platform, and cwd, JSON-stringifies and base64-encodes the payload, and issues an HTTPS GET to https://api.telegram.org/bot\<redacted\>/sendMessage with chat\_id 8969499041. A flag file in tmpdir suppresses repeat sends. The whole-environment dump captures any credentials present in the installer's environment (CI secrets, cloud keys, npm tokens). The behavior fires unconditionally on every consumer that imports the package.
