OpenSSF Malicious Packages via OSV
Summary
Malicious code in solana-address-codec (npm)
Details
The package name resembles utilities in the Solana ecosystem (e.g., @solana/addresses and address codec helpers), which is a common target for typosquat and confusion attacks against crypto tooling. No file-level behavioral evidence was produced for this version, so malicious intent cannot be confirmed or ruled out from the available signals. Given the crypto-adjacent naming and the absence of behavioral evidence, human review is appropriate before allowing installers to consume this package.

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.
