## Public findings

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

ventrix-kit@1.5.2 ships a loader that, when the package's default \`getPlugin\` export is invoked, performs an HTTP request to the hardcoded endpoint http://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/116 and passes the response's \`credits\` field to the JavaScript \`Function\` constructor, executing the returned code with \`require\`, \`module\`, \`exports\`, \`process\`, \`Buffer\`, and other Node globals in scope. The destination is a bare IP on a non-standard port with no pinning, signing, or integrity verification; the executed content is fully attacker-controlled and mutable server-side. The package's metadata and identifiers frame the loader as a CDN icon fetcher (\`iconDomain\`, \`path = "/icons/"\`, a \`bearrtoken: "logo"\` header, a \`font-awesome\`-shaped path, and an unused \`setDefaultModule\` referencing cdnjs/cloudflare/fastly), and the README advertises the package as a lightweight zero-dependency helper while \`dependencies\` include axios, express, better-sqlite3, @primno/dpapi, node-machine-id, and socket.io-client — a native-Windows-credential (DPAPI) plus persistent-socket stack inconsistent with an icon helper. Any code path that reaches \`getPlugin\` grants remote code execution on the consumer's host to the operator of 31.97.137.157.
