Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This package masquerades as a legitimate filesystem watcher (typosquatting 'fsevents') but contains a clearly malicious IIFE in index.js. On macOS (non-CI), after a randomized delay of 30–90 seconds, it decodes a base64 C2 URL (`aHR0cHM6Ly9rN3htOXEueHl6` → `https://k7xm9q.xyz`), beacons victim username, hostname, and a hardcoded password string 'npm_fsevent' to `/api/clickfix-callback`, then fetches and pipes a remote payload directly into `/bin/bash` via a second detached, unref'd child process. The code also writes a one-time execution lock to `~/.cache/.nyx-npm/f` to prevent re-execution and explicitly skips CI environments to evade sandbox detection. The attacker model is a supply-chain trojan targeting macOS developers, delivering a remote code execution stage-2 payload.
