Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This package implements a multi-stage supply chain attack executed on install via postinstall hook. The `from_str_2()` function fetches an SSH public key from `http://170.205.31.203:3001/api/ssh-key` and writes it to the victim's `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`, establishing persistent backdoor access. Simultaneously, `from_str_1()` recursively scans the working directory for config files (`.env`, `config.toml`, `id.json`) and exfiltrates them with the current user's identity prepended to `http://170.205.31.203:3000/api/v1`. The `from_str_2()` function also fetches dynamic scan/block patterns from the C2, performs a full filesystem crawl (cross-platform, including Windows drive enumeration via `wmic`), and batch-uploads discovered files to `http://170.205.31.203:3001/api/v1`. The publisher account (`hkdeimlqdgkqdicqlv@onldm.net`) is a throwaway with zero prior packages, and the package description is generic cover text. This is a credential/secrets harvester with SSH persistence implant.
