Malicious code in oauth-connect (npm)

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (b49c48193ba50bb4ead1e212925eab8873e7e4ad7fa834d41e7626bb4e5036f3) package.json declares a `preinstall: node index.js` hook that fires automatically on `npm install`. index.js collects installer-side data — `os.hostname()`, `os.userInfo()`, home directory, DNS server configuration, the contents of `/etc/passwd` and `/etc/hosts`, and the contents of the consumer's `package.json` — then HTTPS POSTs the assembled JSON to `f3js0y9srl22itqjffo9jbl8mzswgm4b.oastify.com`, an attacker-controlled Burp Collaborator subdomain. The package's advertised purpose (an OAuth helper) bears no relationship to reading `/etc/passwd` or beaconing host identifiers off-machine. This is a reconnaissance / dependency-confusion exfiltration payload that runs unattended on every installer.
