Malicious code in basic-vite (npm)

Details

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_

## Source: amazon-inspector (ab736217e52ecd2e4aa966da6192e434d69f7d34cc5b7a1ce72c6c6ece6aff56) package.json declares `preinstall: node index.js`, so `npm install basic-vite` auto-executes index.js. The script collects host identity data (hostname, username, home directory, DNS servers, current working directory, package.json contents) and reads /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, then POSTs the collected payload over HTTPS to the hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain md3wko7hlcmvfsq16xh2higublhc53ts.oastify.com. The package name suggests a Vite-related utility, but no such functionality is present; the sole behavior is install-time data exfiltration to an attacker-controlled out-of-band interaction host.
