Malicious code in css-hgwctv-polyfill (npm)

Type: advisorySource: OSV1 source record

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (ee1103a16c6f933686f07e8ce94068057f49e5cf2f0a6a9ccf01f2baeb7cfe95) On require, thunderboltRegistry.js runs an immediately-invoked function that uses child_process.execSync to collect host identity and network reconnaissance from the installer's machine (`id`, `whoami`, `uname -a`, `ifconfig`/`ip addr`, and `/etc/hosts`), plus hostname, Node.js version, platform and pid, and transmits each result via fetch to the hardcoded plain-HTTP endpoint http://dxpoc.gt.tc/callback.php/bb8968d0f67000433bf7005dd5ad2d1f. The package also exports Proxy stubs named thunderboltRegistry, siteAssetsRegistry, editorRegistry, corvidRegistry and ships a registry-manifest.min.json referencing parastorage.com, mimicking internal Wix thunderbolt build modules so the module auto-loads inside a Wix build and executes the reconnaissance payload. A CSS polyfill has no functional reason to execute shell commands, read /etc/hosts, or contact an external host.
