Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
Steals browser credentials (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Firefox saved passwords and cookies), crypto wallet keys and seed phrases from 71 wallet extension IDs (MetaMask, Phantom, and others), and developer credential files (~/.npmrc, ~/.env, ~/.git-credentials) via HTTP POST in the postinstall script to hardcoded C2 at http://149.28.127.35:8888. Typosquats the glob package; index.js is a decoy stub. C2 is shared with at least four sibling typosquat packages published the same day.
**Trigger** (`postinstall`): executes `node postinstall.js` at install time.
**Collection — browser credentials**: reads Chrome/Brave/Edge `Login Data` SQLite files and Firefox `logins.json`; base64-encodes first 5KB of each DB; targets Linux (`~/.config/`) and Windows (`%LOCALAPPDATA%`) paths.
**Collection — crypto wallets**: scans Local Extension Settings directories for 71 hardcoded wallet extension IDs; extracts `vault`, `mnemonic`, `seed`, `privateKey` values from `.log` files.
**Collection — seed phrase files**: scans Documents, Desktop, Downloads, OneDrive, Dropbox, and named directories for files matching `seed|backup|wallet|phrase|crypto|metamask|phantom|vault|key|private|mnemonic|recover|keystore|foundry|hardhat`; detects BIP39 mnemonic words (threshold: 8 matching words), EVM private keys (`0x[a-f0-9]{64}`), and Ethereum keystore format.
**Collection — developer credentials**: reads `~/.npmrc` (extracts `_authToken`, `npm_*` tokens), `~/.env` (extracts TOKEN/API/DB/PAY/EMAIL-typed keys and EVM private keys), `~/.git-credentials` (full content).
**Exfiltration**: POSTs all collected data as JSON to `http://149.28.127.35:8888` via `http.request` (source literal at `loaders/postinstall.js:7`).
