The destination host (api.github.com), repository slug (futongwan/sui-research-notes), and Bearer token are reconstructed at runtime via an XOR routine keyed on the string 'bcs-c0mpact-v10' to hide them from static inspection. After exfiltration the payload rewrites index.js on disk to remove the /* compat-probe:start */.../* compat-probe:end */ block so the installed file no longer contains the malicious code on subsequent inspection. The package is presented as a BCS codec; the exfiltration and anti-forensics behavior have no relationship to that stated purpose.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (26785e267ea5dbbb1a77bd9745feb4eed05a2579f8855af25bacd40264a837e4)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.\n","affected":[{"package":{"name":"bcs-compact","ecosystem":"npm"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.0.1","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"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"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":"b965d04fa7d40492502fbeb5372ee3baf1c338cb0e17fc5b98768f61f966b744","tlsh":"7f81d6412faa9071565be9d990c6ce03b7f8d244316ff0cfd95d84892f3ac08857bd88"}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xr26-x39h-746w"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/bcs-compact/v/1.0.1"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/bcs-compact/v/1.0.0"}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"GHSA-xr26-x39h-746w","import_time":"2026-08-12T17:38:23.142009183Z","modified_time":"2026-08-12T17:15:20Z","ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"}],"type":"SEMVER"}],"sha256":"26785e267ea5dbbb1a77bd9745feb4eed05a2579f8855af25bacd40264a837e4","source":"ghsa-malware"},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-017620","import_time":"2026-08-12T20:49:31.382688925Z","modified_time":"2026-08-12T20:45:53Z","sha256":"85b93f1a0694dc37c94e18c12eb32ebe9cab96ded318e46ee5c774db80f4a648","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.1"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-017882","import_time":"2026-08-14T14:51:45.337980372Z","modified_time":"2026-08-14T14:50:21Z","sha256":"3e9c520372b9443e28c0d6ec08744dfe78f9df51d9633e08de025219d1f49367","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"]}]},"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
