Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% On \`npm install\`, all three lifecycle hooks (preinstall, install, postinstall) execute postinstall.js, which harvests installer secrets and exfiltrates them to an attacker-controlled localhost.run SSH tunnel at edcf8b03c84634.lhr.life. The script reads ~/.ssh/\*, ~/.aws/credentials and config, ~/.config/gcloud, ~/.azure, ~/.npmrc, ~/.kube/config, ~/.docker/config.json, browser profile directories, crypto wallets, VPN configs, shell histories, and dotfiles; dumps process.env; and regex-matches GitHub, AWS, Google, Stripe, Slack, and Discord tokens. It also fingerprints the host via api.ipify.org and ipapi.co (public IP, country, city, ISP, lat/lon, hostname, username, uid/gid, local IPs) and POSTs the full bundle to https://edcf8b03c84634.lhr.life/collect via https.request. The package additionally declares a self-referential dependency on itself (color-style-utils: ^1.0.4) and ships an undeclared ~35 KB sibling file \`postinstall2.jsµ\` with a non-ASCII suffix that is not referenced by any documented script — both consistent with name-squat/decoy smuggling patterns. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** color-style-utils - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.9 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 6 - **Latest version:** 1.0.9 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
