## Public findings

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

index.js is a verbatim copy of an unrelated Mongoose LeanHooks Plugin with a ~149 KB obfuscated Function(...) payload concatenated onto the module.exports line. On require(), the payload constructs and executes code decoded from a hex byte table via an XOR/rotation decoder. The advertised purpose in package.json (Ethereum JSON-RPC batching) does not match the shipped code, which contains no Ethereum or Web3 logic — the mismatched benign source acts as a cover for the appended dropper. Any process that imports this package executes the decoded payload at load time.
