Malicious code in alelo-common (npm)
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (1f1e53c8bced61d4dfbd9121821219a5c35f2a7f273f06e9e2cfd628f509341f) The package auto-executes exfiltration code during npm install via preinstall and postinstall lifecycle scripts. preinstall.js collects the hostname, username, platform, cwd, and the full process.env, then POSTs the JSON payload to https://209.99.185.109/preinstall with TLS certificate validation disabled (rejectUnauthorized: false). index.js (postinstall) reads.env,.npmrc, package.json,../.env, and../../.env from the install directory, runs whoami and id, gathers process.env, and POSTs the aggregated payload to https://209.99.185.109/postinstall over the same TLS-disabled channel. The.npmrc read captures the installer's npm _authToken; the.env reads capture cloud, database, and API credentials. The destination is a bare-IP endpoint with no relationship to any legitimate publisher, and TLS verification is deliberately disabled. The package name resembles a private/internal scope, consistent with a dependency-confusion lure.
