The react-fontawesome-icons package versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.4, and 1.0.6 include a default-exported React component that performs an unconditional axios GET request to http://command.control on every render. It then POSTs the user's document.cookie along with static data to http://commad.control/404. The package masquerades as a Font Awesome icon component but includes deliberate misdirection in its source code comments and a base64 flag-decoder near the exfiltration call. The destination hosts are not legitimate and do not resolve, indicating malicious intent to steal session cookies and potentially compromise the host system.

Any application rendering this component transmits the user's browser session cookies to an attacker-controlled domain, potentially exposing session tokens and other sensitive information. This can lead to full compromise of the affected computer, as the attacker may gain unauthorized access and control. The presence of this package on a system should be treated as a full compromise, requiring immediate secret and key rotation and thorough system remediation.

Remove the react-fontawesome-icons package immediately from all affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the compromised computer from a separate, trusted device. Because the package grants potential full control to an attacker, assume the system is fully compromised and perform a comprehensive security assessment and remediation. No official patch or fix is available; removal and secret rotation are the only mitigations.
