Overview
vite-plugin-bomb-extend is a malicious package. This package contains malicious code, and it was still available for download from the official npm package registry as of the time of publication.
This package is deliberately named to imitate a legitimate package in an attempt to confuse developers by leveraging social engineering techniques; however, there is no connection between the legitimate package and this one. The malicious behavior does not take effect immediately upon publication, but the functions in the package are named in such a way as to imitate the expected ones in the legitimate package and perform destructive actions on the target system.
