OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-15625 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package's postinstall lifecycle hook pipes the output of \`env\` through \`nc\` to a host reconstructed at install time from the package version string via \`cut -b 2-4\` and \`cut -b 5-\`. For version 4127000.0.1 the destination decodes to 127.0.0.1:888; the sibling artifact evilpostinstall-192.168.1.100.tgz uses the same slicing scheme to target 192.168.1.100...
