Malicious code in @shared-web/assets (npm)

CISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.

No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

--- _-= Per source details.

That code collects `os.userInfo().username`, `os.hostname()`, and `process.cwd()` and issues a DNS `resolve4` for a label chain of the form `<pkg>.<user>.<host>.<cwd>.<ts>.oob.algamil7x.xyz`, exfiltrating installer identity and working-directory information over DNS to an attacker-controlled domain. The destination host and the `os`/`dns`/`process` module names are obfuscated in `lib/c5df9a.js` and `lib/b4ce8f.js` using char-code byte arrays (`String.fromCharCode`) and loaded via `module.constructor._load` instead of plain `require`, concealing both the APIs and the C2 destination. The obfuscation and DNS-label-encoded channel are inconsistent with the package's presentation as a shared web assets helper.
