A companion postinstall/index.js path reads.env,.npmrc, package.json, and parent-directory.env files (../.env,../../.env), runs whoami/id via child_process, and POSTs the collected contents to https://209.99.185.109/postinstall over the same TLS-disabled channel. The destination is a bare IPv4 endpoint unrelated to any documented publisher. Package metadata shows a dependency-confusion shape: name alelo-utils published at version 99.0.0, and a bundled login.ps1 references an npm publish workflow under the personal account oxy12@proton.me, which does not match the claimed 'Alelo Dev Team' author..npmrc typically contains npm _authToken values and.env commonly holds cloud/API credentials, so this install-time flow directly exfiltrates installer credentials.\n","aliases":["GHSA-chg6-4g6x-82gw"],"modified":"2026-09-24T09:30:07.365704715Z","published":"2026-08-14T14:12:05Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-017760","import_time":"2026-08-14T14:28:06.785792408Z","modified_time":"2026-08-14T14:12:05Z","sha256":"5b1fd03e0ca4d5452b6a5d6aa2880a9c711021e287eaae056e68f70f6aedc926","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["99.0.0"]},{"import_time":"2026-09-24T09:21:32.599663844Z","modified_time":"2026-09-22T17:16:21Z","sha256":"d952e4ff090009f4313436a7339575431423f1445c2a671c75656ed914bab5fc","source":"reversing-labs","versions":["99.0.0","99.0.2"],"id":"RLMA-2026-10689"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/alelo-utils/v/99.0.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-chg6-4g6x-82gw"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"alelo-utils","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/alelo-utils"},"versions":["99.0.0","99.0.2"],"database_specific":{"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"sha256":"d753bcad41ebf25fd1393ca3e6690c5213b956305ad9c50aa968b717ae7aec37","tlsh":"2ff002f041b9f2f07af5a6c0b067982261b3e1103917bcf0c9d841456b8f4681173cf1","path":"preinstall.js"},{"path":"index.js","sha256":"27b0b358d7bdb88d005f7ac164dff32b13f7ac2c52eea12495e29aac286d3b65","tlsh":"4c21e1f067a4a3b07ab556d4e1ae50006263e2123d26b6f0b5d801917b1997815b3db0"},{"path":"package.json","sha256":"c17a9b9b3f906537b71e3833721548405256a8b8f1d19fb805eb0c2eaff0699a","tlsh":"36e026384913de632acc1a98291a140125e00ecb0584b824228f011812ea6b3c0ff20b"}],"package_integrity":[{"hashes":{"sha1":"36fdf638a68ad12f15e495dad783b6ebf77ba5c0","sha512_sri":"sha512-J+AfwwTBqaRLPPoCPxU0fELubFmPovJ0+4Os3Urr0cqUwsek2j9UmJ3VJEBq/70wo/fYfm9OVB+6dztOa65eYA=="},"filename":"alelo-utils-99.0.0.tgz"}]},"cwes":[{"name":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature."}],"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/alelo-utils/MAL-2026-14028.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"},{"name":"ReversingLabs","contact":["https://www.reversinglabs.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
