Malicious code in hushed_zebra_green-81 (npm)

Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 2.4.2`

Part of a self-republishing campaign: generated names of the form <adjective>_<animal>_<colour>-<number>, each package shipping the same autopublish.js, which runs `npm publish --access public` to publish the package again. Self-replicating publication is the propagation step of a registry worm and fills the registry with copies. Version examined: 2.4.2; tarball SHA-256 ffebf73f874c957dd668301a366650064b7e52d0b33aca0943fdd0e1f7d58807.
