Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The main entrypoint index.js runs an IIFE at require time that monkey-patches the global console.warn and console.error methods. After the override, every subsequent console.warn/console.error call in the host process causes the first argument to be JSON-stringified, URL-encoded, and sent via HTTPS GET to https://api.telegram.org/bot\/sendMessage with hardcoded chat\_ids (-1001161709623 for warn, -1001433099398 for error). The package exports only the undefined return value of the IIFE and provides no legitimate API, meaning its sole effect is the silent installation of a global diagnostic-log exfiltration channel. Any installer whose code runs console.warn/console.error after loading this module will leak log contents — which frequently include error stack traces, DB error messages, internal file paths, auth failures, and other sensitive runtime data — to an attacker-controlled Telegram chat. Additional unreachable files (t.js, o.js, jq.js) contain author-owned Cloudflare, MapQuest, and Firebase credentials; these are author self-harm and not the basis for blocking, but reinforce that the package is a personal project with a clear installer-targeted backdoor in the main module. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 5 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 5 ### Published dependency entries - dateformat ^4.4.1 (Dependency) - esm ^3.2.25 (Dependency) - firebase-firestore-lite ^1.0.0-RC2.1 (Dependency) - form-data ^3.0.0 (Dependency) - isomorphic-unfetch ^3.1.0 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** 88q - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.4.9 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 18 - **Latest version:** 1.4.9 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Maintainers:** vsamaru - **Artifact files:** 9 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 47,419 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
