Vulnetix · Advisory published August 4, 2026
This package implements a multi-stage attack executed via postinstall hook (test.js → index.js). The attacker model is credential theft combined with persistent SSH backdoor and mass file exfiltration: `from_str_2()` fetches an SSH public key from a C2 url and writes it to `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`, granting the attacker persistent remote access. It then fetches scan/block patterns from the same C2 and recursively walks the filesystem (home directory on Unix, all drives on Windows) to upload matching files to its exfil destination. `from_str_1()` independently searches for `id.json`, `config.toml`, `.env`, and `env` files and uploads them with the current `process.env.USER` prepended to its exfil destination. The package has zero legitimate metadata and the function names (`from_str_1`, `from_str_2`) are deliberate misdirection mimicking Rust idioms to appear innocuous.
