Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This is a typosquatting package impersonating the legitimate 'postcss' library, published by a brand-new single-package account (brownroger). The entrypoint lib/postcss.js contains legitimate postcss code followed by a whitespace-padded hidden payload that implements a full Ethereum blockchain interaction suite: it uses unicode-escaped strings to hide imports of 'child_process', 'https', and 'http', hardcodes an Ethereum address and then queries multiple Ethereum RPC endpoints (eth.blockscout.com, 1rpc.io, eth.drpc.org, ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com, eth-mainnet.public.blastapi.io), and exfiltrates via e.tx.to — consistent with a cryptocurrency drainer or wallet-targeting attack. The campaign marker 'global["_V"]' is a confirmed PolinRider (DPRK/Lazarus) attribution indicator. The combination of steganographic whitespace padding, 33+ unicode escape sequences hiding critical strings, eval-of-dynamic-content, and confirmed Ethereum address exfiltration leaves no ambiguity about adversarial intent.
