Summary
Malicious code in apple-cktool-api-v2 (npm)
Details

Malicious npm package published by threat actor "raya4321" as part of a coordinated typosquatting campaign impersonating Apple internal infrastructure services (authentication, PKI, telemetry, CloudKit, and cloud infrastructure). All packages in this campaign execute credential-theft payloads during npm installation via preinstall or postinstall lifecycle hooks.

Trigger: postinstall. Searches for Apple and CloudKit token/JSON files in ~/.apple and ~/.cloudkit directories; if found, exfiltrates them base64-encoded to https://franki.requestcatcher.com/ck_hit via curl.
