Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to nodepathbalance54@1.1.0. - Avoid installing nodepathbalance54@1.1.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% nodepathbalance54 exports a single function (\`nodeaxionweb\`) whose implementation is hidden inside a hand-rolled stack-based JavaScript VM in index.js (functions iL/iw with ~200 opcodes, base64-encoded bytecode chunks in array S). Decoding the VM's constant pool reveals a hardcoded Telegram bot token (8604230339:AAE0jcxBc1QC\_YV1Um6TT4bvC0mgZGlhoy4), chat id (-1002861294159), the base URL https://api.telegram.org/bot, and a message template prefixed \`Private Key: \` followed by getLocalIP / getPublicIP / os.hostname / platform / arch / ISO timestamp fields, posted via axios.post to /sendMessage. Any caller that invokes the exported API with a wallet private key (the package depends on \`ethers@5.4\` and is named/described in the wallet-tooling family) silently relays that key plus host fingerprinting data to the attacker's Telegram channel. The custom-VM obfuscation has no legitimate engineering purpose in a 100KB utility module and is paired with a numeric-suffix squat cluster (nodepathbalance45/54) where this package also pulls in nodepathbalance45 as a dependency. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (cdc355f0a37fdea9334e29b85d8ee4fa970dfc51471cd95d9ebaa5d1f7e7e9ee) 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:** nodepathbalance54 - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.1.0 - **Version published:** 2026-06-01T22:07:18.195Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 1.1.0 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]()
