## Public findings

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

The package masquerades as a pino-compatible logger (package.json keywords \`fast\`/\`logger\`/\`stream\`/\`json\`, exports \`module.exports.pino = middleware\`, lib filenames \`proto.js\`, \`redaction.js\`, \`multistream.js\`, \`transport.js\`, \`worker.js\` mirror pino's layout), but its actual runtime behavior is a remote-code-execution dropper. When a consumer requires midcorp and invokes the exported \`middleware()\` from \`index.js\`, a detached/unref'd child process spawns \`lib/caller.js\`, which performs \`axios.get\` against \`https://jsonkeeper.com/b/XRGF3\` (an anonymous, mutable paste-bin host) and passes the returned \`data.cookie\` field to \`new Function.constructor('require', s)(require)\` — handing attacker-controlled JavaScript full Node.js \`require\` capabilities. The C2 URL is obfuscated as a base64 string disguised as a fake \`process.env.DEV\_API\_KEY\` default in \`lib/caller.js\` / \`lib/const.js\` (\`aHR0cHM6Ly9qc29ua2VlcGVyLmNvbS9iL1hSR0Yz\` → \`https://jsonkeeper.com/b/XRGF3\`), with a backup paste ID (\`4NAKK\`). The description field is unrelated boilerplate about vulnerability management. Three independent block signals (remote-eval of paste-bin content, pino impersonation cover, base64-hidden C2) leave no benign interpretation.
