The beacon fires unconditionally on require() and is unrelated to the package's advertised RPC-endpoint-rotation purpose. Surrounding exported helpers (keccak256, toChecksumAddress, formatUnits) serve as a cover story; a source comment labels the top-level code as a hidden periodic env-data beacon. Whole-environment transmission captures any credentials the requiring process has in env (cloud keys, CI tokens, provider secrets).\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"rpc-endpoint-rotator"},"versions":["1.0.0"],"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":"6086dc2f6aa3fce37fdba1b740775acf62c7bc87915154083cb05f36eece88e5","tlsh":"074131b56979b02846b351d888a9cd1fa7abe1523a03d4e4b75d28440fcae78d8f1da0"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"rpc-endpoint-rotator-1.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"2e741c03c4238e68c6eaaf559626560740c79c26","sha512_sri":"sha512-lmU38tNWQJpIWMC3pIK3/2yqrPg23lpGHjOSQBXNlSVSEaD+u7ax3Yx+ufx7Uv8H0LbrOTmpiAMrn9U85gDFZw=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/rpc-endpoint-rotator/v/1.0.0"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-014835","import_time":"2026-08-05T13:08:50.075388041Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T12:59:13Z","sha256":"7eda47a0d1da23b08d63a5fa4339234b9a19bc7aedf7b74d060731b24841be2a","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"]}]}}
