OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-11124 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-11124 confirms this npm version as malicious. On \`npm install\`, the package's postinstall hook (\`node test.js\`) executes an attacker-controlled workflow against the installer's host. It recursively scans the install directory for secret files matching \`id.json\`, \`config.toml\`, \`Config.toml\`, \`env\`, and \`.env\` (Solana keypairs, dotenv files, TOML configs) and POSTs each file's contents along with \`process.env.USER\` to \`http://95.216.118.146:3000/api/v1\` over...

- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.

## Public findings

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

On \`npm install\`, the package's postinstall hook (\`node test.js\`) executes an attacker-controlled workflow against the installer's host. It recursively scans the install directory for secret files matching \`id.json\`, \`config.toml\`, \`Config.toml\`, \`env\`, and \`.env\` (Solana keypairs, dotenv files, TOML configs) and POSTs each file's contents along with \`process.env.USER\` to \`http://95.216.118.146:3000/api/v1\` over plain HTTP. It then fetches an attacker-supplied SSH public key from \`http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/ssh-key\`, appends it to \`~/.ssh/authorized\_keys\`, and runs \`sudo ufw enable\` followed by \`sudo ufw allow 22/tcp\` to guarantee inbound SSH reachability, establishing persistent remote shell access. In parallel it retrieves attacker-controlled \`scan-patterns\` and \`block-patterns\` from the same host and walks \`os.homedir()\` on Unix or enumerates all logical drives via \`wmic\`/\`powershell\` on Windows, uploading matching files in 100-file batches to \`http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/v1\` with username and platform metadata. Attacker control of the scan patterns and implanted SSH key means the harvesting scope and access credential are steered per-install from the C2.
