Malicious code in matlab-azure-devops-extension (npm)
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (ecc42778bb54bfdea5784d5dcb68cf43c89def3dbaeddba1d1a6bd2850cb174b) The package's preinstall script (`node index.js`) auto-executes on `npm install` and collects host identifiers (os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, home directory, DNS servers) along with the contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, then POSTs them via HTTPS to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain at 2ru8qr34u3so6bnti176tzt30u6muci1.oastify.com. The package name mimics an Azure DevOps MATLAB extension but ships no legitimate functionality (empty author, empty description); the package exists only to run the exfil beacon. Consistent with a dependency-confusion / recon probe.
