What this malware does
package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle script that runs curl against https://webhook.site/fe1246c2-ac04-4493-b223-fe34ba26b79f with query parameters carrying the installer's hostname, username ($(whoami)), current working directory, OS uname output, and HOME path. This fires automatically on npm install before any user code runs, leaking host identifiers and environment context to a third-party webhook capture endpoint controlled by the publisher. The package metadata (name unicocheck-ios, description Unico Check iOS SDK - biometric identity verification, version 9.9.9) impersonates the Unico vendor's iOS SDK and uses the canonical dependency-confusion sentinel version, indicating the package is positioned to win resolution against an internal package name and harvest data from build environments that mistakenly fetch it from the public registry.
