OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-6079 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6079 confirms this npm version as malicious. lib/index.js contains a base64-encoded URL (decoding to https://jsonkeeper.com/b/BN77K, an anonymous mutable paste host) that is fetched via axios.get; the response's \`.data.cookie\` field is then written to the stdin of a detached \`node\` child process for execution. The top-level index.js calls getThetaInterface() unconditionally, and package.json declares \`postinstall: node index.js\`, so the fetch-and-execute path...

## Public findings

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

lib/index.js contains a base64-encoded URL (decoding to https://jsonkeeper.com/b/BN77K, an anonymous mutable paste host) that is fetched via axios.get; the response's \`.data.cookie\` field is then written to the stdin of a detached \`node\` child process for execution. The top-level index.js calls getThetaInterface() unconditionally, and package.json declares \`postinstall: node index.js\`, so the fetch-and-execute path fires automatically on \`npm install\` as well as on require(). The fetched payload is attacker-controlled and can change at any time. The package additionally impersonates the legitimate \`proto-chain\` package (README header \`\# proto-chain\`, runtime error messages referencing \`require('proto-chain')\`), making accidental installs more likely.

\#\# Source: ghsa-malware (e5464b83f14b49df255a13a51392d93c6632bd5605d85a3c670d99d37b967417) 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.
