Summary
Malicious code in hd-key-generator (npm)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

hd-key-generator is a typosquat of the hdkey package. On require(), index.js reads process.env, os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, the user's home directory, platform, cwd, and package metadata, JSON-serializes and base64-encodes the payload, then issues an HTTPS GET to a hardcoded Telegram Bot API endpoint (api.telegram.org/bot/sendMessage) with chat_id=8969499041. A tmp marker file is used to gate repeat sends. If the real hdkey package is present, it is re-exported to preserve apparent functionality; otherwise stub functions are returned. The full process.env dump captures any secrets the installer's shell or CI has exported (AWS_*, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, database credentials, and similar).
