Vulnetix · Advisory published August 11, 2026
This is a confirmed supply-chain compromise of a legitimate package. Version 1.57.1 has been self-deprecated by the maintainer with an explicit backdoor warning. The `src/auth.js` file contains a trojanized payload hidden after `module.exports` behind hundreds of whitespace characters — classic trojanized-package concealment. The hidden code uses unicode-escaped require calls (`\u0068\u0074\u0074\u0070` → 'http', `\u0063\u0068\u0069\u006C\u0064\u005F\u0070\u0072\u006F\u0063\u0065\u0073\u0073` → 'child_process') to load modules without detection, sets `global['r']=require` and `global['_V']` (a confirmed PolinRider/DPRK-Lazarus campaign marker), and contacts Ethereum RPC endpoints (`https://eth.blockscout.com/api`, `https://1rpc.io/eth`, `https://eth.drpc.org`) decoded from unicode-escaped strings — consistent with crypto-wallet draining or blockchain-based C2. The payload also includes a hardcoded Ethereum address (`0xa322E5f3D311D3080e6f01210635e9aDC2490Ef1a`) and spawns child processes. The campaign-polinrider rule match plus the maintainer's own deprecation notice leave no ambiguity.
