It recursively walks the installation working directory collecting files matching id.json (Solana keypair),.env, env, config.toml, and Config.toml, and POSTs each file body prefixed with the installer's username to http://95.216.118.146:3000/api/v1 over plain HTTP. It fetches an SSH public key from http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/ssh-key and on Linux appends it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, then runs sudo chown, sudo ufw enable, and sudo ufw allow 22/tcp to establish persistent inbound SSH access for the attacker. It also fetches attacker-controlled scan and block patterns from http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/scan-patterns and /api/block-patterns and uses them to walk os.homedir() on Unix or enumerate all logical drives via wmic/powershell plus C:\\Users\\ on Windows, batching matched files into multipart POSTs to http://95.216.118.146:3001/api/v1 with the installer's username and platform. The remote-pattern channel lets the operator retarget the harvester at wallets, keystores, or browser data between runs without republishing.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (5ee5c7b4fe3a96c0832f021b47e151798e9bc55e887095c1e7d15d38d8895ebe)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
