First, it POSTs a platform fingerprint as JSON to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at http://193.70.34.101:20099/vote (host assembled from a split array to hide the literal), acting as an install-time beacon. Second, it XOR-decodes (key 'stf2026') a hidden URL that resolves to https://github.com/beb1raz1/qPzM50V1AKG0rVlH/releases/download/null/main.exe — an unrelated personal GitHub account with an obfuscated repository name — downloads main.exe to %TEMP%, and spawns it detached. Third, when /proc/version indicates WSL, installAddonViaBridge() concatenates additional XOR-decoded segments into a shell command passed to child_process.exec with windowsHide:true, crossing the WSL boundary to fetch and execute the same.exe on the Windows host. The package name resembles a reversal of 'shadol'/'lodash' but the shipped code is a dropper rather than any CLI; there are no source files matching the advertised purpose.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"lodahs-cli"},"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":"scripts/postinstall.js","sha256":"556cda792565c82a343042df9e7fed49a4ff6dc2709a2c8bc472bf2d78b30369","tlsh":"81d13fca1ef59035874bf96884cf9d13b2a6c207320e4a65ff8f42107f5793c85a69e9"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"lodahs-cli-1.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"8bc42bcda01a134742619ad3f9fefd4fbee4f095","sha512_sri":"sha512-5WEotRuU3qCkuMGzaw9CTqJbg2glatQYS2yZmBGAoTn8Z3vM8MH7BzBsn9xvs82/S1WCX5eCGmALwoX8eoWzZw=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodahs-cli/v/1.0.0"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-018252","import_time":"2026-08-19T00:21:13.291138674Z","modified_time":"2026-08-18T23:59:29Z","sha256":"15cec128c194761de8cd73923062ece7e4104b5e6130ca40882c5ac9d3f83914","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"]}]}}
