Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This package is a credential-theft and data-exfiltration tool. The postinstall hook (test.js) invokes from_str_1/2/3/4 from index.js on install, which recursively scans the filesystem for .env files, wallet-related documents, shell history, and other sensitive files, then uploads them via multipart POST to the attacker-controlled C2 at https://vercel-backend-five-vert.vercel.app/api/v1 using axios. The code explicitly targets Linux home directories, Windows drive letters C-J, and macOS /Users, collecting crypto wallet keywords (mnemonic, privatekey, seed, metamask, phantom), .env files, and config files. The publisher 'polyx' has a 55% malicious package ratio with 5 confirmed malicious packages (eslint-helper-1, new-ecro-1, new-eslint-1, new-mjs-eslint, new-ts-helper) from the same burner account created 4 days ago, establishing a clear pattern of supply chain attack infrastructure.
