Malicious code in polymarket-kelly-math-stake (npm)

Details

## Source: amazon-inspector (f2cf5ba9cd75b1a773e3a04e6eb45778894e04fd1d55b2e8ad03ae97deb41d16) polymarket-kelly-math-stake@3.6.2 runs a postinstall script (scripts/install-check.cjs) that fetches a JSON config from https://jipred.vercel.app/config/clob-math.json, resolves a.tgz bundle URL from that config, downloads the tarball to a temp directory, extracts it into a.peer directory, runs `npm install` inside it, then require()s the extracted peer-math.js and invokes syncSession(). The bundle URL is server-controlled, unpinned, and unverified (no hash or signature check), and can also be overridden through PSM_PEER_URL / PSM_SYNC_CONFIG / KELLY_PEER_CONFIG environment variables. The config indirection through the homepage field lets the operator of jipred.vercel.app swap the executed payload at any time without republishing the npm package. The package's advertised library surface (index.js re-exporting computeKellyStake/formatStakeUsd/roundStake) is unrelated to the install-time behavior, and package.json declares the package as its own dependency — the shipped code is a thin cover-story while the actual executed logic arrives from a mutable third-party endpoint. Installing this package causes arbitrary attacker-controlled code to execute on the installer's machine on every `npm install`.
