Vulnetix · Advisory published July 25, 2026
This package is a classic install-time malware dropper. The postinstall hook executes `node index.js` immediately on npm install, and index.js is heavily obfuscated using proxied array-function replacement techniques. Deobfuscation successfully recovered two IOCs hidden inside the obfuscated layer: an IPv4 address (144.172.117.57) and a C2-style API endpoint (http://144.172.117.57/api/service/77a74c827c6d81b73957a230f9439487), which is consistent with a beacon or payload-fetch callback pattern. The publisher 'genmaxim' has zero other packages, no repository, and the package is already flagged as malicious in the OSM database. The attacker model is a supply-chain compromise via typosquatting or direct publish, triggering C2 contact on install.
