On require(), the main module reads process.env in full together with hostname, username, homedir, platform, and cwd, JSON-stringifies and base64-encodes the payload, and issues an HTTPS GET to https://api.telegram.org/bot<redacted>/sendMessage with chat_id 8969499041. A flag file in tmpdir suppresses repeat sends. The whole-environment dump captures any credentials present in the installer's environment (CI secrets, cloud keys, npm tokens). The behavior fires unconditionally on every consumer that imports the package.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@wethenorth12/near-api"},"versions":["3.0.1"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"index.js","sha256":"65eac40bbd9e9a603309ed65909f5e1154395dfca2c787fcd366ecc63cb6e43d","tlsh":"ca2141c827f1f98e11729592a42f610fb3bbcae20889fa50d1a4d1c33f741c88565398"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"near-api-3.0.1.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"86a3cafe08ab31946b11ffb19452e1a6d00cef04","sha512_sri":"sha512-jxi9n7kv4+stNESJpKg4v22PLu3DxsE0toU+9DaP5VVIEy9XLHvD2VoulKk1oso4Vft8dZTzR5Tn+0flYn6+CQ=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wethenorth12/near-api/v/3.0.1"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-013436","import_time":"2026-08-05T07:06:47.450657618Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T06:22:57Z","sha256":"ec76b158cd4b27bb2e90a492c1713c1655dcbd2f4a9fc0f03a0664d8bec8e2ed","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["3.0.1"]}]}}
