Malicious code in bazelisk (npm)

Details

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

## Source: amazon-inspector (d4bcbd35130e716d1a2940c91b6691d41b9655fdc8587404af37bc6e5a7f1370) This npm package uses the name `bazelisk`, colliding with Google's bazelbuild/bazelisk project (referenced in the tarball's source.txt), and self-labels as a 'Security research canary'. Its postinstall script collects the installer's hostname, platform, arch, Node version, package name, and npm lifecycle event and POSTs that JSON payload to https://grqx3qve.instances.poc.jchunt.top/bazelisk at `npm install` time. The destination host is unrelated to the real bazelisk publisher. Installer host identifiers and environment fingerprint leave the machine automatically on install, matching a dependency-confusion beacon pattern.
