easy-string-kit@1.0.5

package.json declares a postinstall lifecycle script that automatically runs on npm install and executes roughly 25 curl POST requests harvesting cloud-instance identity and credential data from /data/* paths (ami-id, instance-id, iam/, identity-credentials/, public-keys/, security-groups, mac, hostname, local/public ipv4, etc.). Each value is sent over plain HTTP to http://3dhd6wwmusbh04m22igmzvb4hvnmblza.oastify.com/, a Burp Suite Collaborator out-of-band exfiltration host controlled by the attacker. The package advertises itself as 'a collection of handy string utility functions' but ships no string-utility code coupled to the install hook — only the exfiltration payload. Author, repository, bugs, and homepage fields are all empty strings, consistent with a disposable namespace-squat used to deliver an exfiltration payload (dependency-confusion / typosquat shape). Installing this package on any host — and especially on a cloud build agent — leaks IAM metadata, SSH public keys, and instance identity to an attacker-controlled collaborator endpoint. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (afb272eb6208527c57abc9ef604a3776dfdca057e5c9b16e524aa4703df623b4) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'easy-string-kit' @ 1.0.1 (npm) as malicious.
