Detection details
[email protected] published to npm, flagged by codelake scanners on 2026-08-20 09:41 UTC.
Detector rules that fired on this package:
- Package ships a private key / certificate file: c2_public.pem — secret/credential leak via the registry
behavior.shipped.credential-file - Source spawns a child process with a non-literal command
behavior.static.child-spawn-dynamic - Source decodes a payload (base64/hex/unescape) and dynamically exec's it (eval/Function/vm) in the same file — packed-payload dropper
behavior.static.decode-exec - Source loads a module from a non-literal name — opaque dependency
behavior.static.dynamic-require - Source collects host/identity fingerprint (hostname/userInfo/networkInterfaces) and makes an outbound call — recon beacon
behavior.static.recon-beacon - Source reads a well-known credential/secret file (ssh key, aws creds, .npmrc, ...)
behavior.static.sensitive-file-read - Source references a sensitive filesystem path (~/.ssh, /mnt/user-data, .aws/credentials, ...) — secret/workspace harvest
behavior.static.sensitive-path - Assembled string (concat, 2 fragments) reconstructs to "rm -rf " — command; fed to a dynamic-execution sink
