Malicious code in carboniteapp (npm)

Malicious package. carboniteapp runs an install-time script (node index.js via its npm install hook) that collects host information, resolves the victim's public IP via api.ipify.org, and exfiltrates the collected data to an attacker-controlled Telegram bot (api.telegram.org). No legitimate functionality; the package exists solely to beacon/exfiltrate on install, so all published versions are malicious. Published 2026-05-06 and removed from npm the same day.
