Summary
Malicious code in @caspianph/storyteller (npm)
Details
The package ships setup.cjs containing heavily obfuscated JavaScript with hex-mangled identifiers (_0x32549a, _0x4b2b44, _0x78c349, _0x119ac2) typical of payload-hiding techniques. A file named setup.cjs in an npm package is structurally positioned to be invoked from a lifecycle hook (preinstall/install/postinstall) or required at module load. Legitimate npm packages do not obfuscate their install-time code; obfuscation in this position is overwhelmingly used to hide network beacons, credential reads, or dropper logic from casual inspection.
