## Public findings

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

The package name is a single-character transposition of \`axios\`. \`package.json\` declares \`preinstall\`, \`install\`, and \`postinstall\` hooks all pointing at \`postinstall.js\`, guaranteeing execution on \`npm install\`. \`postinstall.js\` reads \`~/.ssh/id\_\*\`, \`~/.aws/credentials\`, \`~/.aws/config\`, \`~/.config/gcloud/application\_default\_credentials.json\`, \`~/.azure/accessTokens.json\`, \`~/.npmrc\`, shell histories, browser profile data, crypto wallet files, the entire \`process.env\`, and recursively walks \`~/projects\`, \`~/dev\`, \`~/code\`, \`~/workspace\`, and the current working directory for \`.env\` files. Collected data is POSTed via plain HTTP to \`http://80.200.28.28:2222/collect\` (hardcoded as \`C2\_HOST\` at line 11). Author comments in the source explicitly label installers as 'victims' (\`// Change this to your PUBLIC IP when deploying to victims\`) and construct a \`VICTIM\_ID\`, leaving no benign interpretation. The exposed \`fetchData\` API in \`index.js\` is a stub that only \`console.log\`s — the package has no legitimate function.
