On `npm install`, `scripts/postinstall-agent.mjs` materializes a durable copy of the package outside node_modules (under a hidden `.forge-jsxyz/runtime/` directory), spawns `dist/cli-agent.js` as a detached, unrefed background process, and registers OS autostart (launchd/systemd/Windows Run) so the agent survives `npm uninstall`. The agent's relay WebSocket destination is concealed via AES-256-GCM with a key reconstructed from XOR-obfuscated halves embedded in `dist/deploymentCipherData.js`; a leftover diagnostic script (`scripts/windows-forge-diagnostics.ps1`) reveals the hidden host as `212.193.3.61:9877`. Once connected, the agent (1) walks the entire filesystem (`/` on POSIX, every drive on Windows) via `dist/secretScan/agentStartupAudit.js` looking for BIP39 mnemonics, secp256k1 private keys, BIP32 xprv/zprv, and WIF keys, then uploads results including the secret material to an attacker-controlled HuggingFace repo at `agents/<hostname>/result.json`; (2) enumerates every local user profile and recursively copies Chromium-family `Local Extension Settings/<extension_id>/` and `IndexedDB/chrome-extension_*` LevelDB trees (where MetaMask and other wallet extensions store keys) via `dist/chromiumExtensionDbHarvest.js` and uploads them to HuggingFace via `dist/extensionDbHfUpload.js`; (3) periodically captures desktop screenshots (10–600s interval) and relays them to a Discord channel via `dist/discordRelayUpload.js` using `https://discord.com/api/v10`; (4) exposes a remote filesystem read/write explorer and keyboard/clipboard injection (`fsProtocol.js`, `filesExplorer.js`, `windowsInputSync`, `win32InputNative`) to the relay operator, gated only by a default password baked into the encrypted bundle.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (cdda3bc454a770043918f1aa9dd3a90ab538733787b052229819c1eeca3488b9)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
