High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% package.json declares \`postinstall: node recon.js\`, which auto-runs on \`npm install\`. recon.js (lines 30-46) scrapes a curated list of credential-bearing environment variables including AWS\_ACCESS\_KEY\_ID, AWS\_SECRET\_ACCESS\_KEY, NPM\_TOKEN, CI\_REGISTRY\_PASSWORD, GITLAB\_ACCESS\_TOKEN, SSH\_PRIVATE\_KEY, PRIVATE\_KEY, MNEMONIC, and DB\_PASSWORD. It additionally enumerates and reads.env files at multiple paths outside the package's own scope (\`.env\`, \`../.env\`, \`/app/.env\`, \`/home/gitlab-runner/.env\`, \`/root/.env\`), filtering lines matching /KEY|SECRET|TOKEN|PASS|PRIVATE|MNEMONIC/i. The collected JSON payload is POSTed (recon.js:84-87, 99-106) over HTTPS with \`rejectUnauthorized:false\` to two attacker-controlled endpoints: \`https://webhook.site/d6d18927-e513-4df7-b019-58bfc64fe0dd\` and \`https://enqoojbegdvxj.x.pipedream.net/\`. The package self-describes as the "CryptoDAO internal cryptodao-backend module" and is published at version 99.99.99 — the canonical dependency-confusion shape designed to outrank a private internal package of the same name during npm resolution. A source comment in recon.js explicitly labels itself a "Dependency Confusion Reconnaissance Payload." \#\# Source: ossf-package-analysis (53a8a16fe6b574758e079eb66c47dc1dd063043bb38dd8e1534d357d43509270) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'cryptodao-backend' @ 99.99.99 (npm) as malicious.
