Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
The entrypoint `index.js` contains a sophisticated steganographic obfuscation technique: invisible Unicode variation-selector codepoints (U+FE00–U+FE0F and U+E0100–U+E01EF) are embedded directly in the source string literal and decoded at runtime into hex digits, then passed to `eval(Buffer.from(..., 'hex').toString())`. The decoded payload fragment is itself AES-256-CBC encrypted (`require('crypto').createDecipheriv('aes-256-cbc', 'zetqHxyFoD...`)`, indicating a two-layer obfuscation chain designed to defeat static analysis. This is a deliberate, sophisticated supply-chain attack — steganographic Unicode encoding is not an accidental pattern, it requires explicit implementation to hide a second-stage loader inside what appears to be a legitimate Git automation tool. The attacker model is a credential-harvesting or remote-execution implant delivered as a developer tool, consistent with campaigns targeting software engineers via malicious npm packages.
