velora-kit@12.0.2 exports a getPlugin() function that fetches content from a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at https://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/116 and passes the response's data.credits field to new Function(...), which is then invoked with require, module, process, Buffer, and Promise injected — executing attacker-controlled JavaScript with full Node.js privileges in the consumer's process. Variable naming (protocol/domain/path split, bearrtoken: 'logo', token: '116') is styled to resemble a CDN icon fetcher while actually constructing a URL to a bare-IP host and evaluating the returned payload as code. The declared dependency set (@primno/dpapi for Windows DPAPI decryption, better-sqlite3/sqlite3 for browser-profile database reads, node-machine-id, socket.io-client, request, axios) provides the fetched second-stage code with capabilities aligned to credential and wallet theft from local browser profiles.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
