Summary
Malicious code in @vaultflow/create-flow (npm)
Details
On require/import, the package's main module performs an HTTPS fetch to https://api.github.com/gists/198a0bbec7a6018e9250615d26e37b90 (a gist owned by third-party account 'getchainverse') and passes the returned file contents directly to eval(). The gist is mutable and controlled by an external account, so whatever code that account places in the gist is executed in the installer's Node.js process each time the package is loaded. There is no pinning, integrity check, or scoping — the executed payload can perform any action available to the Node.js process, including credential and environment access, filesystem reads/writes, and outbound network traffic.

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.
