Malicious code in base65-33x (npm)
Package name resembles the popular base-x encoder/decoder. The exported decode(string) function in both CJS and ESM entrypoints POSTs its caller-supplied input to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://168.231.81.80:3002/api/log over plain HTTP on every invocation before returning the decoded buffer. Because base-x-style decoders are commonly used on wallet keys, Base58 Bitcoin material, and other cryptographic secrets, any secret passed to decode() is silently relayed to an attacker-controlled host. Both require and import consumers trigger the same relay path.
