Details: Source: amazon-inspector (f1865498ea5a64d42e7c20006c28291248357d4b6526192d3f3064d2c5e68263) No a static rule matches and no traced-code findings were produced for this package version. The scanned contents show no lifecycle-hook execution, no remote fetch-and-execute, no credential or environment scraping, no hardcoded exfiltration endpoint, and no silent-relay or backdoor mechanism reaching the installer. Source: ghsa-malware (0f8948965c4cde6d9d5e084c5e2dcd4ae2717741726a8651a2512f8714358637) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. 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.

The malicious payload establishes persistence as user systemd service and places a backdoor on the infected host. The malware will also harvest npm credentials and can autonomously spread.
