The loader-utils-kit npm package is a typosquatting malware impersonating the legitimate webpack loader-utils package. It includes an obfuscated module lib/contract.js that decodes and executes code via the Function constructor, posing a risk if explicitly imported. The package metadata spoofs the original author and repository to appear legitimate. The malicious payload is dormant by default and only activates if the specific contract.js module is required by a consumer.
