Malicious code in boardwalk-js-tests (npm)

Details

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

## Source: amazon-inspector (aceb6d52ccfbb88b344c7edfe504516e6496f7886f95a8fec3b69c5127bd2924) package.json declares `preinstall: node index.js`. On `npm install`, index.js collects the installer's hostname, username, homedir, DNS server list, and current working directory, reads /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, and POSTs the JSON payload over HTTPS to h8q14cqgn5ra8v0bjg70nqxsbjhc52tr.oastify.com — a Burp Collaborator (OAST) subdomain used as an attacker-controlled exfiltration callback. The package provides no advertised functionality; its sole install-time behavior is host reconnaissance and data exfiltration.
