Summary
Malicious code in zomato-config (npm)
Details
Dependency-confusion package targeting an internal Zomato namespace. The package ships only a stub index.js (`module.exports = { name: 'zomato-config', version: '1.0.0' }`) with no real functionality. Its package.json `preinstall` lifecycle hook runs `curl` to POST `hostname`, `whoami`, `pwd`, and the full process environment (base64-encoded via `env | base64 -w0`) to `http://d8s0b82plbq3u5sb2vo0sb3a9obr4yjt7.oast.site/install/...`. This fires automatically on `npm install` and leaks any environment-variable secrets present at install time (CI tokens, cloud credentials, npm/GitHub tokens) to an attacker-controlled out-of-band interaction host. The shape (empty payload + recon beacon to oast.site + internal-sounding name) matches a dependency-confusion reconnaissance / exfiltration package.
