Malicious code in sound_deer_apricot-15 (npm)

Details

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: 2.1.4; tarball SHA-256 27600206fc32a99f42d2dc8e77a71b222ae457b0345dfec2f397d6883b49f9f4.
