Analysis

Dependency-confusion malware: version 99.99.99 of @mlspace/profile overrides a private @mlspace scope. scripts/postinstall.js is a second-stage downloader that beacons host reconnaissance to the C2 endpoint oob[.]moika[.]tech/report with a hardcoded X-Secret header, then fetches and executes oob[.]moika[.]tech/payload in a separate node process. Author variables are named DEP_CONFUSION_URL/PAYLOAD/SECRET, and a Russian-language comment marks a 3-second startup delay used for sandbox evasion.
