Description
The npm package 'env-stream' is a malicious typosquatting package impersonating the popular 'dotenv-flow' library. When imported, it fetches and executes arbitrary JavaScript code from a remote attacker-controlled server, resulting in remote code execution with full Node.js privileges on the host machine. Versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 of 'env-stream' are affected. There is no official patch or remediation guidance provided.
