## Public findings

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

The package declares a preinstall lifecycle script (\`node index.js\`) that runs automatically on \`npm install\`. index.js collects the installer's hostname, OS username, home directory, configured DNS servers, package metadata, and the contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, then POSTs the payload over HTTPS to dfwvktnc563cparn1p88c8051w7ovej3.oastify.com, a Burp Collaborator out-of-band host controlled by a third party. Installing the package causes installer host identifiers and system files to be exfiltrated to that endpoint.
