Malicious code in centralogger (npm)

Type: advisorySources: OSV

dom-utils-lite and centralogger, with identical payloads. On npm install, a postinstall hook fetches the attacker’s SSH public key from a Supabase storage bucket, appends it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, harvests the victim’s IP, username, and hostname, then uploads that metadata to the same Supabase project. A scheduler re-runs the chain every 60 seconds. --- _-= Per source details.
