MAL-2026-14301

Summary: Malicious code in evm-validation (npm)

Details: Source: amazon-inspector (d3c551a6031e48a54b550a604e2198a4491cf935407744bba8ef0c11c54086c4) The package advertises EVM address validation but performs no local validation. Its single exported function validated(e) in index.js issues axios.get against a hardcoded destination and appends the caller-supplied argument to the URL, causing whatever the consuming application passes in (EVM addresses, keys, or arbitrary user data) to be transmitted to a remote host the caller never configured. The destination is deliberately hidden: a scrambled string array is joined, ROT13-transformed, and reversed at runtime to reconstruct https://api-ivalidte.vercel.app/app/api/ — a typosquat-shaped Vercel host that does not correspond to any documented service for this package. The obfuscation of the destination combined with the mismatch between the advertised purpose (local validation) and the actual behavior (remote relay to an author-controlled endpoint) is the silent-relay shape.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
