Summary
Malicious code in real-router-utils (npm)
Details
package.json declares a preinstall script that runs an inline node command reading the installer's OS hostname, username, and current working directory and sending them as query parameters to a hardcoded webhook.site collector URL (https://webhook.site/e32d3b8a-a5df-40cc-ae60-7a8343b581e4). The request fires automatically on npm install, before any user interaction, and the destination is an anonymous ephemeral webhook endpoint unrelated to any documented package purpose.
