Malicious package due to preinstall script execution and attempts to modify shell startup files for persistence, indicating malicious intent.
Confirmed malicious package as part of coordinated supply chain attack targeting npm ecosystem
Note: This report is updated by a verification record
The package exhibits multiple suspicious behaviors. The package.json includes a preinstall script executing node setup_bun.js, which is a known technique for malware to gain access before installation. Both bun_environment.js and setup_bun.js match the bash_persist_persistent YARA rule, indicating potential attempts to modify shell startup files for persistence. The combination of preinstall script execution and shell persistence attempts strongly suggests malicious intent.
