OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-5862 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package \`vitest-pro\` is a namespace-abuse lure: its name suggests a vitest extension, but its source tree, README, and \`main\` entry (\`lib/nodemailer.js\`) are a verbatim copy of nodemailer with the name string rewritten. \`package.json\` declares \`"postinstall": "node lib/utils/index.js"\`, which on \`npm install\` spawns \`lib/utils/smtp-connection/index.js\` as a detached child process (\`spawn(process.execPath,...

## Public findings

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

Package \`vitest-pro\` is a namespace-abuse lure: its name suggests a vitest extension, but its source tree, README, and \`main\` entry (\`lib/nodemailer.js\`) are a verbatim copy of nodemailer with the name string rewritten. \`package.json\` declares \`"postinstall": "node lib/utils/index.js"\`, which on \`npm install\` spawns \`lib/utils/smtp-connection/index.js\` as a detached child process (\`spawn(process.execPath, \[filePath\], {detached:true, stdio:\['ignore','ignore','ignore'\]})\`). That file is heavily obfuscated with two stacked layers (a custom base-91-style decoder populating a string cache, plus an obfuscator.io string-array with \`\_0x...\` identifiers); once decoded it loads \`axios\` and \`child\_process\`, polls a hardcoded C2 at \`74.0.48.37:4556\` and \`74.0.48.37:4558\`, downloads a ZIP, extracts it via \`tar\` / \`Expand-Archive\` / \`unzip\`, and executes the dropped binary. It then establishes cross-platform persistence: on Windows it writes to \`HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run\` via \`reg.exe add\`, registers a \`schtasks /create... /sc ONLOGON\` task, and drops a startup \`.cmd\` under \`%APPDATA%\\...\\Startup\`; on macOS it writes a LaunchAgent plist under \`~/Library/LaunchAgents\` and runs \`launchctl load\`. Any developer or CI system running \`npm install vitest-pro\` is compromised at install time and re-compromised on every reboot.
