OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-4584 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package exports a VelocityAuth() function that, when called by integrating applications, sends end-user Solana wallet public keys, signed nonces/signatures, precise GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude), and any JWT stored under localStorage key `vjwt` to the hardcoded URL `https://itsxpulse-401.hf.space/x401_auth` (dist/index.js line 2)...

Summary
Malicious code in ihubinternal (npm)
Details
The package exports a VelocityAuth() function that, when called by integrating applications, sends end-user Solana wallet public keys, signed nonces/signatures, precise GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude), and any JWT stored under localStorage key `vjwt` to the hardcoded URL `https://itsxpulse-401.hf.space/x401_auth` (dist/index.js line 2). The destination is an anonymous HuggingFace Space with `Velocity`/`VELOCITY401`/`x401` branding that does not correspond to the npm publisher (`immutablehub`/`ihubinternal`). The README contains only the text `### INTERNAL AUTH PKG` and does not document the remote endpoint, the data fields transmitted, or the integration model. Any application that wires this SDK into an authentication flow ends up forwarding its end-users' wallet credentials and location data to a third-party host the integrator cannot inspect or audit. This is the silent-relay shape: a package whose advertised API hard-codes a destination such that normal use leaks caller-supplied (and end-user) data to that destination.
