Summary
Malicious code in stripe-cli-init-plugin (npm)
Details
Package name 'stripe-cli-init-plugin' impersonates the Stripe CLI ecosystem and ships a bin script (bin/run.js) that, when invoked via `npx stripe-cli-init-plugin` or as the installed CLI, POSTs the installer's project directory basename and a timestamp to a hardcoded remote URL (https://deepbounty.dd06-dev.fr/cb/10306845-ff21-4176-8574-95dd4917bc45). The package self-describes as a 'Security PoC for Bug Bounty' but is published to the public npm registry under a name designed to be reached via typo or autocomplete confusion against the legitimate Stripe CLI tooling, and provides no advertised functionality — its only effect on the installer is to confirm execution and leak the CWD basename to the author's server. The combination of name-confusion targeting a top-tier brand plus a silent phone-home to an attacker-controlled endpoint constitutes a supply-chain attack regardless of the author's stated intent.
