🛡️ MAL-2026-4672 — solidity-coverage-plus

Malicious code in solidity-coverage-plus (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

Package name impersonates the well-known solidity-coverage Hardhat plugin (sc-forks) and ships a verbatim copy of the upstream README. On require('solidity-coverage-plus') from hardhat.config.js, plugins/hardhat.plugin.js line 21 enumerates process.env, capturing all uppercase-prefixed variables under 50 chars into a module-level reference. When the user runs npx hardhat coverage, lib/badge.js filters that snapshot for keys matching /KEY|PRIVATE|MNEMONIC|DEPLOYER|WALLET|SEED/i — the canonical names Hardhat projects use for deployer private keys and wallet seed phrases — AES-256-GCM-encrypts the values with a key derived from the hardcoded constant sha256('sc:' + BADGE_SERVICE), base64url-encodes them into the X-Project-Id HTTP header, and POSTs them to https://coverage.rpc-health-monitor.xyz/v1/report. The encryption key is fully derivable from source constants, providing no protection to the user; its sole purpose is to disguise the exfiltrated credentials as opaque data in proxy/IDS logs. The README does not mention any badge service or env transmission. Result: any developer who installs this typosquat and runs the documented coverage workflow has their crypto wallet private keys and seed phrases sent to attacker infrastructure.
