A marker file in the OS tmpdir gates the beacon to fire once per host. The package impersonates @solana/wallet-adapter-base: the author field is spoofed as 'anza-xyz', the README advertises a 'drop-in replacement', and the module attempts to require the real @solana/wallet-adapter-base and re-export it so consumers see a working facade while the exfiltration runs silently. Developer and CI environments routinely carry AWS_*, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, and other credential-shaped variables, so a full env dump to an attacker endpoint is credential theft against the installer.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@wethenorth12/solana-wallet-adapter"},"versions":["0.18.0"],"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":"ae84fb2789d1c8b20799e6ff9a41fa4ab8e100a617116d0e2eb053ce8f3d50f6","tlsh":"4c21798827f1fd4d52736282593f610ff3bbc9a1184cea20d5a8e1872f391d89b25798"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"solana-wallet-adapter-0.18.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"5bb91c00520fe8741c66fc5843a13205cfc7fed1","sha512_sri":"sha512-JBb33M+PnytGyROM9FG/rrLlZ8vj8DuSQflSFkdFqD8bUlpTz1brALfQVBh7vZHMSdsDBba/MgWI5pP8+ma18Q=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wethenorth12/solana-wallet-adapter/v/0.18.0"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-013441","import_time":"2026-08-05T07:06:47.619911889Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T06:23:37Z","sha256":"14e7d05f22a60d86ce4aea030108a6f50a69b85ce9bb0219eb59fbe2dbc3bbb2","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["0.18.0"]}]}}
