Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This package is a confirmed DPRK/Lazarus PolinRider/nullreceiver campaign implant masquerading as a PostCSS plugin. The actual payload is hidden after hundreds of whitespace characters in index.js and uses unicode-escaped strings to conceal child_process.spawn, http/https requests, and an Ethereum address (0xa322e5f3d311d3080e6f0121063e9adc2490ef1a). The C2 resolution mechanism is novel and sophisticated: it queries multiple Ethereum RPC endpoints to find a transaction FROM the hardcoded attacker address, then decodes the transaction's `to` field as raw bytes to reconstruct two IPv4 addresses, which are then set as globals (_H, _H2, _t_s, _t_u) for subsequent C2 communication — a blockchain-based C2 dead-drop. Campaign markers global['_V'] (PolinRider) and the nullreceiver key string 'q4FZkxX{!h,Sr3=@' are both present, and the publisher 'brownroger' already has a confirmed critical-severity malicious package (post-css-transfer) in OSM
