    Summary: Malicious code in @devmikets/hyperliquid-sdk (npm)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (c401f279d5ea91e416e18e54888c22d1087a44449aa9629dfb86f3c5945ec903) package.json declares `inquirer` with a tarball URL pointing at registrynpmjs.to — a domain that typosquats the official npm registry (registry.npmjs.org). Running `npm install` fetches and installs whatever tarball is hosted at that attacker-controlled URL as a transitive dependency, delivering arbitrary code into the installer's node_modules on every install. The package otherwise mimics a legitimate Hyperliquid TypeScript SDK (README shape, `@nktkas/rews` dep, jsr.io/@std references), and `inquirer` (an interactive-prompt library) is not a normal runtime dependency for a trading SDK, indicating the entry exists as a delivery vector rather than a functional dependency.
