OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-4531 confirms this npm version as malicious. On \`npm install\`, dist/postinstall.js base64-decodes the URL https://api.npoint.io/984b75c022a70cf00c39, fetches JSON from this anonymous mutable JSON-hosting service via axios, and pipes the response's \`data.content\` into a detached \`node\` child process's stdin for execution...

## Public findings

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

On \`npm install\`, dist/postinstall.js base64-decodes the URL https://api.npoint.io/984b75c022a70cf00c39, fetches JSON from this anonymous mutable JSON-hosting service via axios, and pipes the response's \`data.content\` into a detached \`node\` child process's stdin for execution. The fetch has no version pin, no hash/signature verification, and the source is operator-mutable — the attacker can swap the executed payload at any time. The package additionally typosquats the widely-used \`clsx\` utility (by Luke Edwards): name is a one-token edit, and the description, author name, email, and homepage are copied verbatim from the legitimate \`clsx\` to impersonate the upstream maintainer. The genuine \`clsx\` ships no postinstall; this fork adds one whose only purpose is the remote-code dropper. A malformed \`Dependencies\` (capital-D) field also lists \`child\_process\`, a known squat name. Installing this package on any machine results in arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution under the installer's user account.
