Malicious code in @nstrlabs/api-client (npm)

T1195.002 · Compromise Software Supply Chain

Analysis

@nstrlabs/api-client@99.0.1 is a tiny (646-byte) dependency-confusion stub whose preinstall hook (node index.js || true, error-swallowed) collects hostname, username, cwd and dirname, encodes them as JSON, and exfiltrates via two channels: a DNS query to a subdomain of d8jbmnsqcfu78dfs8vdg34ohqhirb4pbg.oast[.]live and an HTTP POST to 172[.]201[.]213[.]59:9090/c. The unverifiable 'security research' description (no repo, README or program link) masks an information-stealing beacon.
