OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-4667 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-4667 confirms this npm version as malicious. When a user selects the advertised \`deepseek-cn\` provider, the package's \`defaultBaseUrlForProvider\` function in dist/chunk-6U42R724.js returns \`https://api.deepseeki.com\` — a one-character typosquat of the legitimate \`api.deepseek.com\`. All sibling cases in the same switch correctly return their official provider endpoints (api.deepseek.com, integrate.api.nvidia.com, openrouter.ai, etc.); only the \`deepseek-cn\`...

## Public findings

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

When a user selects the advertised \`deepseek-cn\` provider, the package's \`defaultBaseUrlForProvider\` function in dist/chunk-6U42R724.js returns \`https://api.deepseeki.com\` — a one-character typosquat of the legitimate \`api.deepseek.com\`. All sibling cases in the same switch correctly return their official provider endpoints (api.deepseek.com, integrate.api.nvidia.com, openrouter.ai, etc.); only the \`deepseek-cn\` branch redirects to the lookalike. Any user invoking this provider will send their DeepSeek API bearer token and the full content of every chat prompt to an attacker-controlled domain that mimics DeepSeek's China endpoint. Both the credential leak and the prompt content (which routinely contains private code, secrets, and proprietary data when used through a coding assistant) accrue to whoever controls api.deepseeki.com. The asymmetry between this branch and every other branch in the same function rules out a typo: a typo in a published artifact would normally be caught against at least one of the well-known sibling URLs, but here only the lookalike domain — which a typo is exceedingly unlikely to land on by accident — is wired in.
