eth-codergen

The package is advertised as an Ethereum ABI code generator but its `index.js` is a verbatim copy of the unrelated `mongoose-lean-hooks` plugin. Appended to the same line as `module.exports = leanhooksPlugin;` (padded with whitespace to push it off-screen) is a top-level `Function("tQ4eR5v",...)` call whose body is a custom hex/XOR-mixer decoder (constants 0x9e3779b9, 0x243f6a88, 0x6a09e667) that reconstructs an opaque payload from an encoded byte array and executes it. The obfuscated loader runs automatically whenever a consumer calls `require('eth-codergen')`, giving the publisher arbitrary code execution in the consumer's Node.js process. The package name differs by one letter from the legitimate `eth-codegen` package, and the README even instructs `npm install --save-dev eth-codegen`, indicating the package is positioned to catch developers who mistype the real package name. No Ethereum/ABI codegen functionality is present in the shipped code. ## Source: ghsa-malware (69eee48bc43bf04d3a35021657809e8e2615ae84250ee1e7b229175969807a25) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
