Description

web-pixels-manager@76.2.4 describes itself as a package for getting IP location and metadata. Its preinstall hook runs node index.js on npm install and requests https://realwbx.com/ip.php?ip=8.8.8.8 with the hardcoded Authorization value 207e4133bd083b9e3e89c5556fc8677e, which differs from the value in each of the account's other packages.
