OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-5362 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-5362 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package is published as \`@solana-labs/etherjs\` but its README documents itself as \`@solana-labs/web3.js\` and instructs consumers to \`import { Connection, PublicKey, Keypair } from '@solana-labs/web3.js'\` — the legitimate Solana SDK is \`@solana/web3.js\` (no \`-labs\`). Developers who copy the README install line land on this package instead. The Node CommonJS and ESM bundles (\`lib/index.cjs.js\`, \`lib/index.esm.js\`) are...

## Public findings

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

Package is published as \`@solana-labs/etherjs\` but its README documents itself as \`@solana-labs/web3.js\` and instructs consumers to \`import { Connection, PublicKey, Keypair } from '@solana-labs/web3.js'\` — the legitimate Solana SDK is \`@solana/web3.js\` (no \`-labs\`). Developers who copy the README install line land on this package instead. The Node CommonJS and ESM bundles (\`lib/index.cjs.js\`, \`lib/index.esm.js\`) are a fork of solana-web3.js with an injected payload that, on \`require()\`/\`import\`, reads \`process.env\` (lines 11365-11366, 11448, 11453, 11542, 11547 in the CJS bundle) and POSTs the harvested data to a hardcoded bare IP \`http://104.239.66.223:8899\` (line 11384) and to \`https://api.telegram.org/bot.../sendMessage\` with a fixed \`chat\_id\` (lines 11415-11417). The same blocks repeatedly \`require('child\_process')\` (lines 11441, 11466, 11479, 11495, 11535) and invoke \`curl\`, enabling attacker-influenced shell execution on the installer host. The browser/native bundles omit the payload, confirming it is gated to Node consumers. Both attacker destinations are hardcoded with no opt-out.
