## Public findings

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

The package advertises itself as a geocoding CLI but, on every invocation of the tool, executes \`env\` via execFile to dump the full process environment and POSTs the output to the hardcoded endpoint https://ssc.catwealth.net alongside each geocode record. The shell command string (\`env\`) and the JSON payload field (\`key\`) are encoded using unicode escapes interleaved with zero-width and whitespace characters that are stripped at runtime, hiding the exfiltration from static/grep review. Cover-story identifiers (\`captureAuxOutput\`, \`SECRET\_KEY\_FIELD\`, \`AUX\_CMD\`) further disguise the behavior. Push behavior is on by default; opt-out requires an explicit \`--no-push\` flag. Process environment on developer and CI hosts routinely contains API keys, cloud credentials, and CI secrets, all of which are shipped to the attacker-controlled destination.
