@devcarron/clob @2.73.0

Summary

@devcarron/clob ships a malicious postinstall dropper. package.json declares postinstall: node clob.js , which on npm install downloads an opaque Windows executable (clob2.0.exe) from IPFS via gateways including violet-tricky-quelea-562.mypinata.cloud, cloudflare-ipfs.com, and gateway.pinata.cloud (CID bafybeif3zkapj364ofnrvbty7oj5h5ufpxlp4s62usk3ulxrru35e3gssa), writes it under %LOCALAPPDATA%, generates a VBS launcher, and registers HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run to silently launch the binary via wscript.exe with windowsHide. Equivalent persistence is installed on macOS via ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clob.agent.plist + launchctl load, and on Linux via ~/.config/autostart/clob.desktop. clob.js then resolves the installer's public IP through api.ipify.org and POSTs it to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://45.8.22.112:2026/api/urls over plain HTTP — an install-time beacon notifying the operator of each successful infection. The tarball additionally ships a 4 MB Windows PE clob2.0.exe at the root, and README.md is copied verbatim from @img/sharp-win32-x64 ( Prebuilt sharp for use with Windows x64 ) to disguise the package's true purpose. None of these behaviors relate to any legitimate library function: no source code, no advertised API, no relation to libvips/sharp.
