Source: amazon-inspector (ceb1026a96918a3f4ed4c7c4f0aa75411c3869f1ad14405174e396b4e67907d2)

index.js exports an undocumented getPlugin() function which, when invoked, performs an HTTP GET to https://shorturl.at/147uq, JSON-parses the response body, and passes the response's model field directly to eval(). The URL is a mutable shortener redirect controlled by the package author and can be repointed to any JavaScript payload at any time, giving the author arbitrary code execution in the process of any consumer that calls getPlugin()(). The package's stated purpose is an SVG helper: package.json describes it as 'Tiny zero-dependency SVG helper for Node.js' and declares no dependencies, yet index.js requires the 'request' library and implements the fetch+eval path. The network+eval behavior is unrelated to SVG processing and is not mentioned in the README, keywords, or exports documentation. The mismatch between advertised purpose and shipped behavior, combined with the shortener-cloaked destination, is deliberate concealment of a backdoor surface.

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.
