Description
The alelo-payment npm package versions 99.0.0 and 99.0.2 contain malicious code that exfiltrates sensitive environment data during installation. The preinstall script collects system information and environment variables, sending them to a hardcoded IP address with TLS verification disabled. The postinstall script further reads sensitive files such as .env and .npmrc, capturing authentication tokens and secrets, and sends this data to the same remote server. The package appears to be a typosquatting or dependency confusion attempt targeting an internal Alelo utility, with no legitimate functionality.
