## Public findings

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

shift-v4-sdk@1.0.5 is a typosquat of the scoped package @shiftforex/shift-sdk-v4 (self-identified as such in a comment inside dist/index.js). Its postinstall script dist/recon.js runs automatically on npm install and collects the installer's hostname, user, sudo\_user, home directory, cwd, DNS domain (via dnsdomainname), network interfaces and IP addresses, the full list of process.env variable names, and a filtered subset of env-var names matching credential-shaped patterns (AWS, GCP, AZURE, NPM, TOKEN, SECRET, KEY, PASS, CRED, GITHUB, GITLAB, SSH). The JSON blob is POSTed over plaintext HTTP to http://138.68.108.20/cb. An in-file comment framing this as 'non-sensitive telemetry' contradicts the actual behavior (host fingerprint plus secret-shaped env-var name enumeration is reconnaissance for follow-on targeting).
