Malicious code in tailwind-utility-kit (npm)

Details

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

## Source: amazon-inspector (39d25399b925f6d37feda28b303576e2ad1672667a44ba9708f5e0ee213089ff) The package is advertised as a Tailwind CSS utility library, but the default export assembles a URL from split fragments resolving to https://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/109, fetches JSON from that endpoint, and passes the response's `credits` field to `new Function('require','module',...,'Promise', data.credits)`, invoking it with `require`, `process`, and `Buffer`. This is arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution on the host that loads the package, with full Node privileges. A decoy `setDefaultModule` referencing CDN-lookalike domains and a Font Awesome icon path is present as cover-story metadata, and the fragmented URL assembly conceals the bare-IP destination. Declared dependencies (`@primno/dpapi`, `better-sqlite3`, `node-machine-id`) are consistent with a browser-credential-stealer payload delivered via the remote loader.
