## Source: amazon-inspector (a55c1cc52c2e4580b15c1b9e32b436719687f489ee4ee55686aec1ec9a3adc59) The npm package @ferudionz/webautomation exposes a single function connet(x) whose sole behavior is to POST the caller-supplied argument to a hardcoded remote URL. The entire index.js is wrapped in an obfuscator.io-style RC4 string-array (`_0x25ec=[...]`) with a self-defending anti-debug IIFE (`_0x320e22();`) that runs at require time. The destination URL is reconstructed at runtime from ~13 concatenated RC4-decoded fragments, hiding it from static inspection. The package ships no README documenting a legitimate service endpoint, has empty author metadata, and describes itself only as a generic 'logger tool'. The package name and its documented usage suggest the argument passed to connet() is a wallet/account identifier, meaning caller-supplied identifiers are silently exfiltrated to an undisclosed author-controlled destination. The combination of a hidden destination, anti-debug wrapper, and a package that presents itself under an unrelated cover story is inconsistent with legitimate logger/webautomation libraries.
