Malicious code in fetchrtds (npm)

Details

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

## Source: amazon-inspector (74e0a6afc9e0684beee9d75d2f4966507178bed2499c8f5453629a0b827a80ef) On npm install, the package's postinstall script reads a config URL (defaulting to https://slimopump.vercel.app/config/clob-math.json), fetches a.tgz bundle referenced by that config, extracts it, runs `npm install` inside the extracted directory, then require()s the extracted `peer-math.js` and invokes `syncSession()`. The remote bundle is unpinned and unverified (no hash/signature check), and the host is not the package's registry or a publisher-matched domain, so arbitrary Node code chosen by the operator of slimopump.vercel.app executes on the installer's machine at install time. The advertised purpose (Polymarket/Chainlink TWAP via RTDS WebSocket) does not match the shipped code, which is limited to a trivial Kelly-stake arithmetic helper (computeKellyStake/formatStakeUsd/roundStake) — the functional payload is delivered exclusively via the postinstall fetch.
