Running `npm install` fetches and installs whatever tarball is hosted at that attacker-controlled URL as a transitive dependency, delivering arbitrary code into the installer's node_modules on every install. The package otherwise mimics a legitimate Hyperliquid TypeScript SDK (README shape, `@nktkas/rews` dep, jsr.io/@std references), and `inquirer` (an interactive-prompt library) is not a normal runtime dependency for a trading SDK, indicating the entry exists as a delivery vector rather than a functional dependency.\n","modified":"2026-08-14T17:00:23.382927067Z","published":"2026-08-14T16:29:01Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"versions":["1.9.6"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-017912","import_time":"2026-08-14T16:50:38.436974683Z","modified_time":"2026-08-14T16:29:01Z","sha256":"c401f279d5ea91e416e18e54888c22d1087a44449aa9629dfb86f3c5945ec903","source":"amazon-inspector"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/@devmikets/hyperliquid-sdk/v/1.9.6"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"@devmikets/hyperliquid-sdk","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/%40devmikets/hyperliquid-sdk"},"versions":["1.9.6"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"package.json","sha256":"5076fd56dd9658824b114573930dfc933aa7dec11869f0b4e5117323d2e07e17","tlsh":"14418892cdf09ca305c426b0acb6d606b56288878d24bc1677de412c4f8caef05fe26d"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"hyperliquid-sdk-1.9.6.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"5448cc89703ab49c027a651f94bb84115809d551","sha512_sri":"sha512-/NXy+iqhxT5eiA5G/ujdQxQVrwoFRS1oPFqUfQffmkGjX8veSLUskgGVGFAlynuDyodc/UqtwXo4chi97Oc/fg=="}}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/@devmikets/hyperliquid-sdk/MAL-2026-14042.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
