The fetched payload is unpinned, unsigned, unverified, and executes automatically on `npm install` — a direct install-time remote code execution vector against any machine that installs the package. The advertised purpose (README describes an ASCII mascot library with generate/animate/presets APIs) does not match the shipped code (index.js/kelly.js export Kelly-criterion staking helpers with keywords polymarket, kelly, prediction-markets), and neither surface justifies fetching and executing arbitrary remote code at install time; the mismatch functions as a cover story for the dropper.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (16a5e17479fdeb82ccdde67c9494e87fda6817dbd7db8cc0723ebf40109b00fe)\nAny 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.\n","affected":[{"package":{"name":"awesome-terminal","ecosystem":"npm"},"versions":["1.0.3","1.0.4","1.0.2","1.0.1"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"scripts/install-check.cjs","sha256":"8c0d2528a03a9c79be6c6f7b3ec73ab4f006e0199e94e468838d04bc9c7b1c60","tlsh":"b3a1359519a2727746b1ebb8c722901dfe2340233521c350f6de96952fb72a4c352dec"},{"path":"package.json","sha256":"5228e2746de220d40635ec5ddfa494a347d73e2ae19a507bd9597db9dd95d271","tlsh":"2cf08b37de804e3368b88f680e291204f9614b5f61708c1bb0bb610c8fb22b2085f72a"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"awesome-terminal-1.0.3.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"8b56fea7fdd4a4dccf26673aab1e6c414ab4d47b","sha512_sri":"sha512-KGqlUOAuMI1+bs3sPIBv97ipggCwqVrceBQ/8RLl+kzrLmi4jnptXQcl+goTav5WawAmHnl+Oe7Fp2RdzccCmQ=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/awesome-terminal/v/1.0.3"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/awesome-terminal/v/1.0.4"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-cv56-pvc8-j5rg"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/awesome-terminal/v/1.0.2"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/awesome-terminal/v/1.0.1"}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-009835","import_time":"2026-07-13T07:40:12.052656473Z","modified_time":"2026-07-13T06:51:07Z","sha256":"379d820ae94a1dd684c187fd2577558795440d8f8cd1fe3cd209c8eb5b303913","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.3"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-010731","import_time":"2026-07-16T18:54:01.645556904Z","modified_time":"2026-07-16T18:39:05Z","sha256":"b50953659f7778f3ea8a1e1bfac728bb6c74eb1538bd71f1ada1250f4015a827","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.4"]},{"id":"GHSA-cv56-pvc8-j5rg","import_time":"2026-07-16T23:33:43.716239219Z","modified_time":"2026-07-16T23:31:54Z","sha256":"16a5e17479fdeb82ccdde67c9494e87fda6817dbd7db8cc0723ebf40109b00fe","source":"ghsa-malware","versions":["1.0.4","1.0.3","1.0.2","1.0.1"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-013319","import_time":"2026-08-05T07:06:41.124607424Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T06:06:08Z","sha256":"3609723ddd582b33f31eda3b06f23b6d218a4c8804735d0cdb52ba827886521d","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.2"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-013391","import_time":"2026-08-05T07:06:45.146786238Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T06:16:26Z","sha256":"61053a9491bc57dd8130c12de4409131850ff1aeb70759f96afe3ec59a266b86","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.1"]}]},"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
