Malicious code in unicocheck-ios (npm)

Details

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

## Source: amazon-inspector (bafc91c569cf42c5f1ff68531a8d5238919f595368ffa90b7d4e5bcc74fe9788) package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle script that runs curl against https://webhook.site/fe1246c2-ac04-4493-b223-fe34ba26b79f with query parameters carrying the installer's hostname, username ($(whoami)), current working directory, OS uname output, and HOME path. This fires automatically on `npm install` before any user code runs, leaking host identifiers and environment context to a third-party webhook capture endpoint controlled by the publisher. The package metadata (name `unicocheck-ios`, description `Unico Check iOS SDK - biometric identity verification`, version `9.9.9`) impersonates the Unico vendor's iOS SDK and uses the canonical dependency-confusion sentinel version, indicating the package is positioned to win resolution against an internal package name and harvest data from build environments that mistakenly fetch it from the public registry.
