Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to weavedb-sdk@0.45.3. - Avoid installing weavedb-sdk@0.45.3. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% package.json declares \`"preinstall": "./tools/setup"\`, where tools/setup is a 976KB stripped Linux x86-64 ELF binary (sha256 36abd242ddaa27f0160c539377a0e92cf781c1695137850acc87e3892b436d36) shipped directly in the tarball. The package self-describes as a JavaScript SDK for an Arweave-backed database; it has no native component, no binding.gyp, no C/C++/Rust source, and no build system that would justify a precompiled binary. The binary is not fetched from a publisher CDN, not version-pinned, and not hash-verified — it simply runs unconditionally with the installer's privileges on every \`npm install\`. Strings extracted from the binary include a PuTTY private-key header (\`BEGINPRIV...KEYPuTTY-\`), \`RSA\_PKCS1\_\`, \`Ed25519\`, \`cookie\`, \`Authorization\`, \`HTTP/1.1\`, \`POST\`, \`XMLH\` (XMLHttpRequest), \`USERPROFILE\`, \`HOME\`, \`/proc\`, \`id\_\`, \`ssh\`, and a second embedded ELF header at offset ~270 (UPX-packed loader pattern). This fingerprint set — SSH/PuTTY private-key parsing primitives + browser cookie/Authorization-header scraping + HTTP POST exfil scaffolding + home-directory and /proc traversal — is the canonical shape of a credential and SSH-key stealer. Installing this package on Linux compromises stored SSH/PuTTY keys, browser session cookies, and any credentials reachable from the user's home directory and environment. \#\# Source: google-open-source-security (146faaf0d97c6a533a969bc3f3f117811f9317dc865ed4ab37f1679842ddeaae) This package was compromised as part of the IronWorm campaign. This campaign executes a malicious binary payload during installation via a preinstall hook. The payload is a Rust-built infostealer that targets developer environments, scanning for and harvesting credentials related to cloud providers, object storage, databases, source-control, package registries, and AI developer tools. It also targets cryptocurrency wallets, specifically injecting a malicious JavaScript hook into the Exodus desktop wallet to capture passwords and recovery phrases. Furthermore, the malware exhibits worm-like behavior by stealing GitHub and NPM credentials to push malicious updates to the victim's repositories and publish trojanized packages, and it uses an eBPF-based kernel rootkit to hide its processes and network connections on Linux systems. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** preinstall - **Dependencies:** 12 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 2 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 12 ### Published dependency entries - @lit-protocol/sdk-browser ^1.3.3 (Dependency) - @metamask/legacy-web3 ^2.0.0 (Dependency) - @paralleldrive/cuid2 ^2.2.0 (Dependency) - arweave 1.13.1 (Dependency) - buffer ^6.0.3 (Dependency) - compare-versions ^6.0.0-rc.1 (Dependency) - md5 ^2.3.0 (Dependency) - ramda ^0.28.0 (Dependency) - warp-contracts ^1.4.45 (Dependency) - warp-contracts-old npm:warp-contracts@1.2.26 (Dependency) - weavedb-base ^0.45.2 (Dependency) - weavedb-contracts ^0.45.1 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** weavedb-sdk - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.45.3 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 0.45.3 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** A decentralized NoSQL database powered by Arweave. - **Deprecated:** COMPROMISED via Mini Shai-Hulud worm (TeamPCP).
