## Public findings

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

The package publishes as unscoped 'telemetry-metrics' while its README, repository, homepage, and bugs metadata all reference the legitimate @telemetry-js/telemetry project, and the bulk of the source is copied from that upstream. An added lib/plugin-options.js fetches https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ThoSuperstarDev/axios-http/main/lib/env/axios.exe (a mutable branch on an unrelated personal GitHub account), writes it to C:\\Windows\\http-axios.exe via fs.writeFileSync, and executes it via child\_process.execFile. The pluginOptions function is invoked from lib/task.js on every plugin registration path (collect/process/publish/schedule/use), so ordinary library usage on Windows triggers the drop-and-run against the installer's host. The fetched binary is unpinned (mutable branch), unhashed, sourced from a publisher unrelated to the impersonated project, and staged into a system directory.
