Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to api-rust-sdk@2.1.6. - Avoid installing api-rust-sdk@2.1.6. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - 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 two payloads against the installer host. First, it fetches an attacker-controlled SSH public key from http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/ssh-key and appends it to ~/.ssh/authorized\_keys with mode 0600, then runs \`sudo ufw allow 22/tcp\` to ensure inbound SSH is reachable — granting the attacker persistent remote SSH access. Second, it walks process.cwd() for files matching id.json, config.toml, Config.toml, env, and.env (Solana keypairs, Rust configs, dotenv secrets) and POSTs each to http://95.216.118.146:3000/api/v1 prefixed with the installer's $USER. Third, it fetches remote scan/block patterns from http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/scan-patterns, enumerates the user's home directory on Unix or all logical drives on Windows (via wmic/PowerShell), and uploads every matching file plus username/platform metadata to http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/v1. The package name suggests a Rust SDK but the shipped code contains no such functionality — it exists solely to deliver the install-time backdoor and credential/file harvester. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** api-rust-sdk - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.1.6 - **Version published:** 2026-07-28T06:08:27.941Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-28T14:30:14.341Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-28T14:30:14.341Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 2.1.6 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [OpenSSF JSON]() - [PACKAGE]()
