Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This package masquerades as a PostCSS plugin but embeds a heavily obfuscated payload hidden after 200+ whitespace characters in index.js. This is a classic DPRK Contagious Interview-style NPM package that is using the NullReceiver-style Ethereum stager to hide the next payload
The deobfuscated payload reveals a cryptocurrency wallet drainer/stealer: it imports `child_process` (spawn), `zlib`, `http`/`https`, makes Ethereum RPC calls (`eth_getTransactionCount`, `eth_blockNumber`, `eth_getBlock`), queries Etherscan-style APIs (`?module=ac...on=txlist`), and communicates with attacker-controlled endpoints including `h.drpc.org` and `stapi.io` recovered from deobfuscation. The pattern `global['r']=require` / `global['i']=...` / `global['m']=module` is a classic obfuscated-malware bootstrapping technique to hide require calls. The publisher account `illiakalishchuk228` is brand new (< 1 day old) with a single package, and the author field is spoofed from the legitimate `postcss-initial` maintainer Maksim Koretskiy — a clear impersonation/typosquatting supply chain attack.
