Detection details
@whalent/[email protected] published to npm, flagged by codelake scanners on 2026-08-20 09:41 UTC.
Detector rules that fired on this package:
- Source assembles a string from fragments and reaches a dynamic exec / process spawn — split-string evasion of an exec/command
behavior.static.assembled-exec - Source loads a module from a non-literal name — opaque dependency
behavior.static.dynamic-require - Source builds strings from char codes / hex escapes — obfuscation (often wraps a hidden payload)
behavior.static.obfuscation-charcode - Source assembles a string from short literal fragments ("ev"+"al") — no legit reason; classic keyword/command-hiding obfuscation
behavior.static.obfuscation-string-concat - Assembled string (concat, 2 fragments) reconstructs to "C=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w \"%{http_code" — command; fed to a dynamic-execution sink
mosaic.assembled-command
