Ecosystem
npm
Summary
The npm package's preinstall hook runs index.js at install time, which collects the installer's hostname, username, home directory, DNS server list, and the contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, then POSTs a JSON payload over HTTPS to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain n6usddpvkn7jcauar9va0xvleck48uwj.oastify.com. The package name mimics a documentation package for karapace (a Kafka registry project), consistent with a dependency-confusion / typosquat recon payload. Installer host identity and local system file contents leave the machine to an attacker-controlled OAST endpoint on npm install with no user interaction.
