AI summary

Indexed incident for menu-filter-widget-web (npm).

Description

package.json declares a postinstall lifecycle hook that runs callback.js on every npm install. callback.js reads os.hostname() and sends it to a hardcoded oastify.com (Burp Collaborator) URL via HTTPS GET, with a fallback DNS lookup that embeds the hostname as a subdomain label. Both channels carry a unique token plus the installer's hostname, registering the install with a remote attacker-controlled collaborator on every install. The package self-describes as a 'PoC' but is published to the public registry, so any installer leaks host identity automatically without consent.
