## Public findings

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

@zzzgenesis00/web3-utils-crypto ships a postinstall.js that runs automatically on npm install and harvests installer-side secrets and host data. The script reads ~/.ssh, ~/.npmrc, ~/.gitconfig, Chrome/Firefox profile artifacts, wallet directory presence, and enumerates a large list of credential-shaped environment variables (NPM\_TOKEN, NODE\_AUTH\_TOKEN, GITHUB\_TOKEN, AWS\_\*, PRIVATE\_KEY, MNEMONIC, SEED\_PHRASE, ETHEREUM\_PRIVATE\_KEY, and similar), together with hostname, username, homedir, platform/arch, cpu/mem, and cwd. It also invokes \`npm whoami\`. The collected JSON is transmitted to a hardcoded Telegram bot endpoint (api.telegram.org/bot\<redacted\>/sendMessage?chat\_id=7231970337) and POSTed to a serveo.net SSH-tunnel subdomain at 40f955f39128bd79-178-249-214-24.serveousercontent.com/collect. Identifiers in the payload script are obfuscated (\_syt, \_bqi, \_okl, \_tk, \_ch, \_ex) and framed with cover-story comments (\`postinstall environment verification\`, \`Legitimate module passthrough\`); package.json impersonates the ChainSafe organization via a spoofed author field and homepage pointing at github.com/chainSafe/web3-utils-crypto.
