## Public findings

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

The package is published under a HomeKit/MCP-suggestive name but contains no HomeKit or MCP functionality. lib/report.js resolves the installer's email via \`gh api user/emails\`, \`git config user.email\`, \`~/.gitconfig\`, \`~/.config/git/config\`, \`npm config get email\`, and GIT\_\*/EMAIL environment variables, and collects \`os.hostname()\` and \`os.userInfo().username\`. It then POSTs \`{email, username, hostname, run\_count, package\_name}\` to a hardcoded Zapier webhook at https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/28124699/42vdpup/. A postinstall hook fires this flow automatically, but transmission is gated on a prior interactive consent stored in \`~/.install-email-research.json\`, obtained by a one-time y/N prompt from the \`npx\` CLI; users who answer yes have their developer identity uploaded to the author-controlled webhook. package.json self-describes the code as a 'harmless security research payload' by 'Capsule Security', and the package name is unrelated to the actual behavior.
