MAL-2026-14526 Malicious code in omniauth-recharge-rails-example (npm)

The package's package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle script that runs wget against a hardcoded webhook.site URL (https://webhook.site/26e65e9b-fd9c-4f3f-beb3-063309f4d7d9/) with query parameters carrying $(whoami), $(pwd), and $(hostname) from the installer's machine. The request fires automatically on npm install, transmitting the installer's username, working directory path, and hostname to a third-party collector controlled by whoever provisioned the webhook token. This is the canonical dependency-confusion / namespace-squat beacon pattern used to prove reachability into an internal network by leaking host identity.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'omniauth-recharge-rails-example' @ 1.0.0 (npm) as malicious.
