Malicious code in solana-web3-lts (npm)
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (51efd3d5cdcb8fb794a1702f586abd7018d86aad3e40286f5a43dd1127d804ed) Package name 'solana-web3-lts' resembles the widely-used '@solana/web3.js' Solana SDK, raising name-confusion concerns for installers reaching for the official client. The shipped library bundles (lib/index.cjs.js, lib/index.esm.js) contain co-occurring use of child_process, fetch/POST/GET, and shell utilities (curl, ping) within large minified files; pattern-level signals match exfiltration shapes but full semantic tracing of the bundle did not complete, so it is not confirmed whether these primitives are reachable from an install/import path or are part of legitimate SDK functionality (e.g., RPC HTTP transports, build tooling). Recommend human review of the bundle to determine whether the child_process + network combination represents a hardcoded C2 exfiltration path or benign SDK code, and to confirm the package's relationship (if any) to the official Solana web3 client.
