It collects hostname, username, architecture, working-directory tree, network interfaces, /etc/resolv.conf, process list,.git/HEAD, UID/GID, project package.json metadata, ~/.npmrc registry/scope configuration, the developer's git identity (via `git config --global user.email`), CI/CD environment variables (GITHUB_*, GITLAB_*, AWS_*, CIRCLE_*, etc.), and the presence of ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.kube. When running on a cloud instance it queries the IMDS endpoint at 169.254.169.254 (stored as the decimal-encoded host `2852039166`), obtains an IMDSv2 token, fetches the IAM role and temporary STS credentials, and includes the first 40 characters of the access token in the payload; equivalent paths exist for Azure and GCP metadata. It also performs DNS reconnaissance against internal-only hostnames (kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local, vault.internal, consul.service.consul, gitlab.local, jenkins.local, redis.internal, etc.) to map the victim's internal network. Collected data is base64-encoded, fragmented, and exfiltrated via chunked HTTPS GET requests to `momo-rest.lapxa354.workers.dev` (a Cloudflare Workers C2 endpoint), with the destination obscured via `Buffer.from(\"bW9tby1yZXN0LmxhcHhhMzU0LndvcmtlcnMuZGV2\", \"base64\").toString()` at index.js:43. The package additionally squats common build-tool command names by declaring `bin` entries for webpack, vite, tsc/tsnode, jest, eslint, gulp, next, turbo, and prettier — all aliased to index.js — and spawns the real local tool (e.g. `webpack-cli`) afterwards to mask the malicious behavior when invoked via PATH or `npx`.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (4bebd4a133fd4719ba9fec03a4bcdd3ae5090aa2054beca2e84fa7335dd5c9b7)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
