## Public findings

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

Package advertises itself as a TOTP utility but its postinstall script (\`node./index.js --setup 2\>/dev/null || true\`) and its exported \`validateSecret\` API both invoke a hidden \`\_run()\` routine that (1) scans Discord/Chrome/Edge/Brave/Opera LevelDB stores under \`os.homedir()\` for Discord auth-token regexes, DPAPI-decrypts encrypted tokens via a spawned powershell \`ProtectedData.Unprotect\` call, parses Minecraft launcher credentials (vanilla \`launcher\_accounts.json\`, Lunar \`accounts.json\`, ModrinthApp \`app.db\` JWTs), validates the harvested Discord tokens against \`discord.com/api/v9\`, and POSTs the collected credentials to a hardcoded Discord webhook whose URL is stored as chunked base64 in \`\_x\` and reassembled at runtime (\`Buffer.from(\_x.join(''),'base64')\`) to a \`discord.com/api/webhooks/1532429233769419004/...\` endpoint; and (2) enumerates vanilla/Modrinth/Lunar Minecraft profile \`mods/\` directories and writes an opaque JAR named \`optimized-renderer-1.0.0.jar\` (URL also stored as chunked base64 decoding to \`cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1507484731535785994/1540335670831222894/optimized-renderer-1.0.0.jar\`) into each discovered mods folder, delivering unverified code that will execute the next time the user launches Minecraft with a Fabric loader. The postinstall suppresses stderr and uses a 4-second \`setTimeout\` to appear to finish cleanly. Because \`validateSecret\` (part of the three-function public API) schedules \`\_run()\` via \`setImmediate\`, the same theft and dropper also fire whenever a downstream consumer imports the package and calls the advertised TOTP function — extending the attack surface well beyond install time.
