Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This package is a typosquat of the legitimate postcss-initial library, injecting a heavily obfuscated (obfuscator.io, 1621 hex variable names) payload hidden after 600+ whitespace characters inside what appears to be a normal PostCSS plugin entrypoint. The deobfuscated payload bears two confirmed DPRK/Lazarus campaign markers: 'q4FZkxX{!h,Sr3=@' (nullreceiver campaign) and 'global[\'_V\']' (PolinRider campaign). The malicious code queries multiple Ethereum JSON-RPC endpoints (eth.blockscout.com, 1rpc.io, eth.drpc.org, ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com, eth-mainnet.public.blastapi.io) and contains an Ethereum address '0xa322e5f3d311d3080e6f0121063e9adc2490ef1a' classified as exfil, consistent with a cryptocurrency theft payload that enumerates blockchain transaction data. The use of global['r']=require to alias require for obfuscated calls, child_process spawn, and zlib decompression routines strongly indicates a multi-stage loader consistent with Contagious Interview / Lazarus Group tooling.
