OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-6294 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6294 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package's postinstall.js script runs automatically on \`npm install\` and collects host identifying data (os.hostname()) along with process environment variables (process.env), then transmits the data over HTTPS. This shape — system-information harvesting at install time and outbound network transmission via the \`https\` module — is a classic install-time exfiltration pattern...

## Public findings

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

The package's postinstall.js script runs automatically on \`npm install\` and collects host identifying data (os.hostname()) along with process environment variables (process.env), then transmits the data over HTTPS. This shape — system-information harvesting at install time and outbound network transmission via the \`https\` module — is a classic install-time exfiltration pattern. There is no legitimate purpose served by reading the installer's environment variables and hostname during postinstall for a package of this kind. Environment variables on developer and CI machines routinely contain credentials (NPM\_TOKEN, GITHUB\_TOKEN, AWS keys, CI secrets), so this beacon constitutes credential exfiltration risk against any system that installs the package.
