## Source: amazon-inspector (4eebad2e44558080fee7f934edca91a78944985dae167e603557eb3144d43730) The package declares an `install` lifecycle script (`node index.js`) that loads `runtime/support/telemetry/probe/impl.js`. On `npm install`, this probe collects the OS username (`os.userInfo().username`), hostname (`os.hostname()`), and the basename of the current working directory, joins them with a static prefix into a DNS label, and issues `dns.resolve4()` against a subdomain of `oob.algamil7x.xyz` — a covert DNS-based exfiltration channel that bypasses HTTP egress filtering. Both the destination host and the module names (`os`, `dns`, `process`) are obfuscated as `String.fromCharCode` byte arrays, and modules are loaded via `module.constructor._load` rather than plain `require`, hiding the hostile endpoint and the primitives used to reach it. The package is published under a vendor-branded scope (`@tesla-insurance/vinless-quote`) unrelated to the attacker domain, consistent with a social-engineering wrapper around the exfiltration payload. --- Credit: OpenSSF ([source](https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/93f5690fa3407c473772b
03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
