--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (8139d8347bc83b12e276e481509aaca6af69adff21f7df1658a6eeadd31562f6) The package's collect.js imports child_process, fs, http, https, and os, gathers host identifiers via os.hostname() and os.homedir(), reads files from the local filesystem (fs.existsSync checks at lines 20 and 27), and POSTs the collected data to a hardcoded external endpoint at http://aab.sportsontheweb.net (referenced at line 13, with the POST request at line 366). The destination domain is unrelated to any legitimate PC-cleaning utility purpose and matches the structural fingerprint of a host-information / filesystem exfiltration beacon: hardcoded non-publisher C2 + system identity collection + outbound POST. Installing or loading this package causes the installer's hostname, home-directory contents indicator, and other host data to be transmitted to the attacker-controlled endpoint over plaintext HTTP.
