wellnpm

wellnpm@2.0.9 ships a 24MB ELF binary named `launch` which is the XMRig Monero miner (RandomX, cn/upx2, ghostrider algorithm strings, libuv/OpenSSL linkage, hashvault pool references). `package.json` declares `"main": "launch"` and `"scripts.start": "./launch"`, so running `npm start` on this package immediately launches the miner. A bundled `config.json` is pre-configured against `pool.hashvault.pro:80` with the hardcoded recipient wallet `4AUTfJGTvT8A98PSE99EunfrnUbkWe9vU3FN3qsABQLP5aPKQuvWS5sCaD9WaXFQUqNtDLb9dcxiBgJiWCfjvDXp5ptWDYG`, so all hashrate from victim machines is credited to the author. A second `scripts.deploy` script targets Android Termux: it moves `libuv.so` into `/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib`, chmod+x's the `xmr` and `edit` shell wrappers, and copies them into `/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin` so the miner becomes a persistent, PATH-resolvable command in the user's Termux environment. The wrappers themselves are one-liners that `cd node_modules/wellnpm && npm start`. README does not mention mining; metadata is placeholder (`author: Your Name <wellenterprise81.gmail.com>`, `description: A brief description of your package`). This is a cryptojacking dropper masquerading as an npm module. ## Source: ghsa-malware (8e91f40e7af1730f15a357bb3074c7d208765ba41598c35373ed5b3b374d607a) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
