## Public findings

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

Package is a dependency-confusion lure targeting Zomato's internal namespace. package.json declares a preinstall hook that runs curl on every \`npm install\`, posting the installer's hostname (\`hostname -f\`), username (\`whoami\`), current working directory, and the entire process environment (base64-encoded via \`env | base64 -w0\`) over plain HTTP to an interactsh out-of-band collector at d8s0b82plbq3u5sb2vo0sb3a9obr4yjt7.oast.site. The URL path embeds the package name and the form fields exfiltrate \`host\`, \`user\`, \`cwd\`, and \`env\`, so any CI/developer environment that misresolves Zomato's internal package name to this public release leaks AWS keys, GITHUB\_TOKEN, NPM\_TOKEN, and any other secrets exposed in the environment. A preuninstall hook performs a similar host beacon. The package's own functionality is a stub (\`index.js\` exports only \`{name, version}\`); its sole purpose is the install-time beacon. The description string self-identifies as \`Zomato's PDF generator service\`, confirming the dependency-confusion reconnaissance intent against Zomato's private namespace.
