Malicious code in electrode-ota-ui-app (npm)

Details

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

## Source: amazon-inspector (6b9fb0d73b7d26454a227e93754f11ff2405424b1279490863055e8d8c8c6498) Package targets the electrode-io internal name `electrode-ota-ui-app` with an inflated 99.0.1 version to win dependency resolution against a private registry. package.json declares both `main: index.js` and `scripts.postinstall: node index.js`, so on `npm install` and on any `require()` the package unconditionally runs `collectAndSend()` in index.js. That function gathers host identifiers via `os.hostname()`, `os.userInfo()`, `os.platform()`, and `os.release()`, resolves the installer's public IP via ipify and geo/ISP data via ipapi.co, and POSTs a JSON payload to the hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain `https://itfv50wbocctx0j32fyfq8z7uy0ptdn1c.oastify.com/callback`, controlled by the package author. README self-labels as a dependency-confusion PoC, but the callback is live and any installer whose resolver picks this public package over the intended internal one is compromised.
