Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package wires preinstall, install, and postinstall lifecycle hooks to run postinstall.js, which executes unconditionally on npm install. The script collects hostname, cwd, uid, and environment variables matching FLAG/CTF/NPM/REGISTRY/CI/GITHUB/RUNNER, reads candidate flag files, and uses child\_process.execSync to recursively grep installer-side directories (/app, /workspace, /challenge, /home/runner/work/repo/repo,.,..,../..) for flag-shaped strings. The collected manifest is base64-encoded and PUT to http://154.57.164.76:30728/api/modules/\, with an additional GET beacon to webhook.site/755defab-ea42-4c1f-9804-43ec567439f5. postinstall.js also tests npm\_config\_registry against /verdaccio/i to detect successful dependency-confusion landings, and the shipped publish-and-arm.sh and README self-describe the package as an 'armed' dependency-confusion probe. Regardless of the CTF/probe framing, installing this package causes unconsented exfiltration of installer environment and filesystem contents to an attacker-controlled IP. ## 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:** ecto-corsair-flag-7kq3mz - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.2 - **Version published:** 2026-06-30T19:43:55.769Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T21:55:07.300Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T21:55:07.300Z - **Known versions:** 3 - **Latest version:** 1.0.2 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
