Description
The npm package 'abuden22' version 1.7.7 contains malicious code in the form of a static-site bundle with obfuscated JavaScript and a browser ServiceWorker. It includes a script that republishes the package under sequential names using the author's credentials, indicating registry abuse and typosquatting. While the package does not execute harmful code during installation or in Node environments, it opens a popunder browser window to a suspicious site when the static site is deployed and visited. The package does not appear to exfiltrate data or fetch remote payloads during install or import, but its presence indicates potential compromise of the host system.
