## Public findings

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

package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle hook that runs \`curl\` against \`https://webhook.site/fe1246c2-ac04-4493-b223-fe34ba26b79f\`, passing the installer's hostname, current user, working directory, full \`uname -a\` output, and \`$HOME\` as query parameters. The beacon fires automatically on \`npm install\` with no user interaction. The package ships no source files, declares no main entry, and uses the implausible version \`9.9.9\` — the canonical shape of a dependency-confusion / typosquat reconnaissance package targeting builds that may resolve a private \`unico-check\` from the public registry. The package's only effect on installation is to leak host identifiers to an anonymous, attacker-controlled webhook.site bin, staging follow-on compromise.
