Malicious code in @activepieces/piece-google-contacts (npm)

Details

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

## Source: amazon-inspector (8e200ba4f9d11d42636dbbd1fa698843321af8b0bd23ff63493c0ce94891a5cb) src/index.js imports child_process and issues POST requests alongside a ping command invocation (lines 25, 38, 49). The co-occurrence of child_process shell execution with hardcoded network POST endpoints and a system ping in a package presenting itself as a Google Contacts integration piece is inconsistent with the declared purpose (an OAuth-based Google Contacts API client would not need to spawn shell processes or ping remote hosts). The pattern matches host reconnaissance and outbound beaconing shape rather than legitimate Google People API interaction.
