Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
The package presents as an Ethereum utility library but embeds a multi-stage malware loader in index.js that activates 42 seconds after import. The loader reads an AES-256-CBC encrypted payload from test/fixtures/keypairs.dat using hardcoded key (d4e7f8a1...) and IV (1a2b3c4d...), decrypts it, writes the result to ~/.cache-db/.node-sync/syncd.js with mode 0o700, then establishes cross-platform persistence: crontab every 12 hours on Linux, Windows Task Scheduler via schtasks, and a LaunchAgent plist at com.apple.syncd on macOS. Finally it spawns the decrypted payload as a detached, stdio-ignored background process that survives the parent process. The publisher solbuilder_io already has a confirmed critical-severity malicious package (eth-wallet-helpers) in OSM, matching the pattern of a threat actor publishing multiple credential/crypto-targeting packages under a Web3 developer persona.
