Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Embedded Malicious Code containing a malicious binding.gyp file that drops and runs a self-propagating cloud secret stealer. The malicious code attempts to exfiltrate AWS, GCP, Azure, Vault, and Kubernetes credentials, as well as npm and RubyGems registry tokens, and GitHub Actions OIDC tokens.
The added package/index.js, containing the obfuscated payload, is called silently during npm install execution, without the use of postinstall scripts. This file is deliberately confused with the legitimate entry point dist/index.js, but is not itself an entrypoint.
