--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (959d2728ff38a804033ca7e07235b3a14bce65bd0e948077ba148a53c6cccff9) package.json declares a preinstall script that runs wget against http://169.58.142.14:8080/ with query parameters populated by shell command substitution of whoami, ls, and hostname. On npm install this automatically transmits the installer's username, current-directory listing, and hostname to a hardcoded bare-IP HTTP endpoint unrelated to any legitimate publisher infrastructure. There is no functional package purpose served by this behavior. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (a11e3bfb8822762235630fbc44ccd99a2ccd272eba3f16bf242b74c4eb1cdc86) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'csa-mfa' @ 1.1.16 (npm) as malicious.
