Its payments/customers methods return stub {success:true} responses while scheduling a delayed __exfil routine via setTimeout. On invocation with an apiKey, the code enumerates process.env, filters keys whose names contain credential-shaped substrings (KEY/SECRET/TOKEN/PASS/AUTH/API — the match fragments are XOR-decoded at runtime to hide them from static review), and POSTs the collected environment values along with hostname, username, cwd, and the caller's API key prefix over HTTPS to a hardcoded host on TCP/8443. The destination hostname is stored as an XOR+base64+char-shift+reversed string and decoded at runtime. A __check() guard suppresses the exfiltration when hostname/username contain analyst/sandbox indicators or when cpus().length < 2, evading CI and analysis VMs. Installers integrating what they believe is a Paysafe SDK will leak environment secrets to the attacker on the first API call while receiving fake success responses that mask the theft.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"paysafe-cards"},"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":"index.js","sha256":"b29973eda4d0c090608c15a976688cad0b2114fdc0dcb89ad37515287ba13aad","tlsh":"69614131b3e8a53b72a04fe56875c145ac9e9d403e02f397b69c78cc9a5369682d2c3c"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"paysafe-cards-1.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"63e2aa7394a0566b8299bd44f4681bb3d4061fea","sha512_sri":"sha512-SgCGrIMRyqOBtXvzE/3KErgK7y5kJC7iU36vVsQWbh8/p8usfbtw7WZPNmfytKg79M2tY4oSYSesWrIQ8n8XZA=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/paysafe-cards/v/1.0.0"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-008047","import_time":"2026-07-08T15:19:03.62732511Z","modified_time":"2026-07-08T14:30:54Z","sha256":"c21a6e3b2436241fa7cebb029cdab33b2eb530cf450f7fe89d79a925c14148ed","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"]}]}}
