## Public findings

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

simple-node-calc-b@1.0.0 ships a binding.gyp that includes a \`modules\` file declaring \`"lodash": "\<!(node lodash-compiler.js)"\`. The gyp \`\<!(...)\` syntax executes shell commands at parse time, and npm auto-invokes node-gyp on any package containing binding.gyp during \`npm install\`, so \`node lodash-compiler.js\` runs automatically on every install with no user opt-in. lodash-compiler.js is an 87KB obfuscator.io-style packed script (524-entry rotated string array \`\_0x2f6e\`, decoder wrapper, control-flow flattening switch/case dispatcher, hex variable names) reachable through this auto-execution path. The script body contains \`require('fs').writeFileSync(...)\` along with string-array fragments \`'poc.txt'\`, \`'Security P'\`, \`'OC.'\`, \`'writeFileS'\`, \`'ync'\` — self-describing as a proof-of-concept payload. The package name advertises a calculator; there is no legitimate reason for a calculator to ship 87KB of obfuscated code behind a hidden gyp shell-expansion. The combination of auto-execution on default install, heavy obfuscation, purpose mismatch, and self-described POC payload matches the canonical install-time RCE pattern.
