MAL-2023-8293 Malicious code in f0-fpti-tracking-manager (npm)

index.js runs automatically via a preinstall lifecycle hook on npm install and collects host identifiers from the installer's machine — os.hostname(), os.platform(), os.arch(), os.homedir(), and dns.getServers() — then POSTs them as JSON to the hardcoded out-of-band host gzj3hokp9obe68j49uaui8anfel690xp.oastify.com/hit. The oastify.com destination is a Burp Collaborator subdomain used to receive callbacks from compromised hosts. The package self-describes as a 'Dependency confusion proof of concept', consistent with a dependency-confusion callback beacon that fires on default install.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'f0-fpti-tracking-manager' @ 28.0.0 (npm) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

• The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
