🛡️ MAL-2026-3758 — dotenvv-tool

Malicious code in dotenvv-tool (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

Package name dotenvv-tool impersonates the popular dotenv package; index.js is an admitted dummy stub ("The real payload is in postinstall.js"). The postinstall lifecycle script runs on npm install and performs wholesale harvesting of installer-owned secrets: reads ~/.npmrc (npm publish token), ~/.env (API keys, DB URLs, cloud credentials), and ~/.git-credentials; enumerates Chrome/Brave/Edge/Chromium/Vivaldi/Opera profile directories for 71 hardcoded crypto-wallet extension IDs (MetaMask, Phantom, Coinbase Wallet, Ledger, Trezor, etc.) and reads their LevelDB .log files for vault/mnemonic/privateKey/password patterns; scans ~/Documents, ~/Desktop, ~/Downloads for files matching BIP-39 seed-phrase patterns; collects os.hostname() and os.userInfo(); and POSTs the bundle over plaintext HTTP to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at http://149.28.127.35:8888 (postinstall.js line 7, with process.env.C2_URL override to let the operator retarget exfiltration without republishing). Author-written header comment self-describes the file as "Token harvester + Crypto wallet scanner / Runs on npm install. Silent. Zero trace."
