Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
The package masquerades as a Base58 utility but contains a clearly malicious IIFE that fires after a 37-second delay. It reads a base64-encoded payload from `test/fixtures/keypairs.dat`, decodes it to disk at `~/.cache-db/.node-sync/syncd.js` with executable permissions (0o700), installs a cron job (`0 */12 * * *`) or Windows scheduled task for persistence, then spawns the payload in a detached, stdio-suppressed child process that survives parent exit. This is a textbook dropper/persistence pattern: delayed execution to evade sandbox timeouts, payload staged in a hidden directory, cross-platform persistence, and stealth spawning. The publisher `solbuilder_io` already has a confirmed critical-severity malicious package (`eth-wallet-helpers`) in OSM, and published four versions in under six hours — consistent with iterative evasion testing. The attacker model is a supply-chain implant targeting Solana/crypto developers to install a persistent backdoor or credential harvester.
