## Public findings

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

ts-bn-lint@3.1.19 is a credential harvester disguised as a TypeScript/lint utility. index.js defines \`decodeStr\` which base64-decodes all operationally sensitive strings, including the C2 endpoint \`https://data-stream.space/api/v1\` (index.js:32) and the target filename patterns \`.env\`, \`config.toml\`, \`Config.toml\`, \`config.json\`, \`id.json\`, and \`env\` (index.js:13-18). The exported \`from\_str\` function recursively walks \`process.cwd()\` collecting files matching those patterns, then gathers shell histories by invoking \`execSync("bash -c history")\` and \`execSync("zsh -c 'fc -l -1000'")\` (index.js:101, 117), tagging each upload with the local username and IP for victim correlation before POSTing to the C2 endpoint. The \`id.json\` target is the standard Solana CLI keypair file; \`.env\` and \`config.\*\` typically contain API keys and database credentials. The package's own \`test.js\` calls \`from\_str()\` unconditionally, so \`npm test\` triggers exfiltration; any consumer who requires the package and calls the exported function does the same. Package metadata is empty (no author, no description) and the name impersonates the TypeScript/lint tooling namespace.
