Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This package is a credential-harvesting infostealer targeting developers. The postinstall hook executes scripts/postinstall.js on install, which systematically collects AWS credentials (~/.aws/credentials), SSH keys (~/.ssh/), .env files (including contents), .gitconfig, .npmrc, Foundry keystores, and environment variables matching crypto/cloud key patterns (KEY|SECRET|TOKEN|MNEMONIC|SEED|WALLET|AWS|INFURA|ALCHEMY). All harvested data is exfiltrated via a hardcoded Telegram bot (8797440605:AAEzk13-lD_Yif3TGP2fIGXhHgDBglTCpXk) to chat ID 7604069194, chunked to respect Telegram's message limits. The beacon tag 'BITU_NPM_BEACON' and version 99.0.0 suggest this is a deliberate supply-chain attack targeting web3/DeFi developers. The publisher account (hongfangfang) has zero prior packages and no repository link, consistent with a throwaway attack account.
