## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Quarantined by product-default policy — this version is not allowed through the firewall.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 2.1.7
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV)

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-13357 confirms this npm version as malicious. On npm install, the package's postinstall script runs test.js, which imports index.js and immediately invokes two harvesting/backdoor routines. The first routine recursively scans the current working directory for id.json, config.toml, Config.toml, env, and.env files and POSTs each match, tagged with the OS username, to http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/v1 — exfiltrating project secrets including Solana keypairs and...
