## Public findings

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

Package name impersonates an internal Anthropic 'claude-\*' namespace and the description field self-identifies as 'Alex Birsan Style' dependency-confusion bait. The package ships no library code; its only effect is a postinstall lifecycle hook that runs an inline node one-liner which fetches the installer's public IP from api.ipify.org, executes \`id || ver && whoami && hostname\` via child\_process.exec, and POSTs hostname, cwd, USERDOMAIN/COMPANY env vars, public IP, package name, and the command output as JSON to a hardcoded attacker subdomain at lszakfghwnvxspyfcmaabd1css99rnq3w.oast.fun (an out-of-band interaction service commonly used for exfiltration). Fires automatically on \`npm install\`, before any consumer code runs.
