Summary
Malicious code in config-helper-kit (npm)

config-helper-kit@1.3.2 exposes a default function getPlugin that issues an HTTPS request to a hardcoded bare-IP host (https://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/109) and passes the returned data.credits field into new Function('require','module',...), executing attacker-controlled JavaScript in the caller's Node.js process with require and module injected. The file also ships an unused helper referencing legitimate CDN hostnames (cloudflare, fastly, akamai, cdnjs) and uses icon/logo/credits naming, while the actual network target is a bare IP unrelated to any CDN. The package's README advertises it as a TypeScript/Tailwind config helper; the remote-code-fetch-and-execute behavior is undocumented and unrelated to that purpose. Any consumer that imports and invokes the default export grants the operator of 31.97.137.157:45000 arbitrary code execution on the installer's host.
