OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-5781 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-5781 confirms this npm version as malicious. On \`npm install\`, the package's \`preinstall\` hook executes \`postinstall.js\`, which enumerates \`process.env\` and filters keys matching a broad credential-shaped regex (key|secret|token|pass|private|ssh|deploy|auth|api|rpc|wallet|sentry|docker|graph|slack|host), then bundles those values together with \`os.hostname()\`, \`os.userInfo().username\`, \`process.cwd()\`, and npm registry config into a JSON payload and POSTs it...

## Public findings

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

On \`npm install\`, the package's \`preinstall\` hook executes \`postinstall.js\`, which enumerates \`process.env\` and filters keys matching a broad credential-shaped regex (key|secret|token|pass|private|ssh|deploy|auth|api|rpc|wallet|sentry|docker|graph|slack|host), then bundles those values together with \`os.hostname()\`, \`os.userInfo().username\`, \`process.cwd()\`, and npm registry config into a JSON payload and POSTs it via \`https.request\` to \`185.130.46.35:8443/collect\` — a bare IP with no relation to any publisher domain. The source even self-identifies the behavior in a comment ("Exfil CI environment variables on install"). The package itself is hollow: \`index.js\` is \`module.exports = {}\`, the description is the generic "Internal package," and the version is \`999.0.0\` — the canonical dependency-confusion shape designed to outrank a private registry's \`portal-backend\` and have misconfigured installers fetch this public copy instead. Installing this package on any developer or CI machine immediately ships that machine's CI secrets, deploy tokens, SSH/registry credentials, and host identity to the attacker.
