Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This package is a typosquatted/scoped clone of the legitimate node-fetch library (2.7.x version not present in the real package), published by a brand-new account ('dexwilt') with only 2 packages and a disposable-looking email domain (web-library.net). The lib/index.js file contains heavy obfuscator.io obfuscation with control-flow flattening, proxied string array access, and base64 payloads injected into what is otherwise a copy of the legitimate node-fetch source. Deobfuscation recovered 103 IOCs including hardcoded C2 IPs (12.1.1.3, 12.1.1.4) and 50+ short domains following patterns like gh.ac, gh.ae, dY.ac, dY.am etc. — characteristic of a DGA-style C2 domain list hidden in the obfuscated layer — combined with network request capability (http.request) to exfiltrate to those endpoints. The attacker model is a supply-chain implant: ship a convincing clone of a popular HTTP library with an obfuscated payload that beacons to attacker-controlled infrastructure on import.
