The destination is a bare IP rather than any publisher- or vendor-owned host, and the request path (\`/surflending/npm-confusion\`) self-describes the intent as a dependency-confusion exfiltration channel. The package name \`flowcardano\` impersonates Cardano-ecosystem tooling and is published at version 9.9.9, the canonical dependency-confusion bait version chosen to outrank legitimate internal packages in resolver order. Any developer or CI agent that installs this package leaks credential-shaped environment variables (wallet seeds/mnemonics, private keys, Blockfrost / Telegram / Redis tokens, generic API tokens and passwords) along with host identifiers to the attacker. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (becf0970b25d3fece917cf67cf2734c2109c5b8b900f2c63f8f78679b7f5eae9) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. 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. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** flowcardano - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 9.9.9 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 9.9.9 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [OpenSSF JSON]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]()
