The shipped bin/vite.js contains an obfuscated IIFE that reconstructs a string table from a shuffled blob using the integer seed 4606094 to hide the strings 'https', 'child_process', 'eval', 'POST', '2.0', and the destination URLs. At runtime the payload issues an HTTPS GET to an Ethereum block-explorer URL and a JSON-RPC POST to an Ethereum node, XOR-decodes the hex result to retrieve JavaScript code from an attacker-controlled smart contract (EtherHiding pattern), and executes the retrieved code via eval(r) and via a detached child_process.spawn('node', ['-e',...+r], { detached: true, windowsHide: true }). The fetched bytes are not pinned, not signature-verified, and are mutable by the contract owner, so any consumer invoking the `vite` CLI from this package runs whatever code the attacker currently has staged on-chain. Additional install-time curl invocations and Buffer.from(...,'base64').toString() decode chains are present in the bundled dist files.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (a98ce75ef5baa1877c3fbda8f5ecffce0e8f995402bbb243416cdc56ed112261)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
