## Public findings

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

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.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
