## Public findings

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

On require/import, dist/index.mjs chmods 0755 and spawns the bundled ELF dist/internal/calc.dat as a detached child process. The binary is a full command-and-control implant that beacons to hardcoded C2 host 217.60.77.63 and accepts operator commands including /spawn (arbitrary process execution), /ssh\_keys and /creds (harvest of the installer's SSH keys and credential files), /dbfind, /download, /dataextract (chunked file exfiltration via POST /api/extract-receive with BIGEXTRACT\_START framing), SOCKS5 proxy, TCP port-forwarding, and remote ELF/shellcode fetch-and-exec. A /persist verb writes ~/.config/systemd/user/svc-update.service (Description 'System Update Service', ExecStart pointing at the implant, Restart=always) and enables it via systemctl --user for reboot persistence. The package advertises itself as a calendar/streak math library and frames the ELF as a 'native math accelerator' with an 'integrity verification' gate; none of the exported day-math functions actually invoke the binary, and daymath.mjs contains a comment stating the placeholder exists to make the math functions look dependent on the binary. The advertised purpose is a cover story for the dropper.

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.
