Malicious code in streak-core-bucket (npm)
On import, the main entry runs a top-level async IIFE that decodes a reversed base64 URL literal to https://f004.backblazeb2.com/file/dp8hbvocjd2fpza/service, downloads the response bytes, writes them to ~/.cache/svc/wsl with mode 0o755, and spawns the file detached with shell:true and stdio ignored. The download URL is concealed via reversed base64 to hide the destination from casual review. The behavior is framed by comments as a benign startup self-check, but the package fetches and executes an opaque remote binary from an anonymous third-party bucket on any require/import of the module.
