svgcraft-corenpm
Advisory published Updated
svgcraft-core is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6715) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2…). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in svgcraft-core (npm)
What this malware does
src/index.cjs exports getPlugin(), which returns a function that performs an HTTPS GET to a hardcoded URL 'https://api.avax-test.dev/ext/bc/C/rpc' with TLS verification disabled (rejectUnauthorized: false) and passes the response body to new Function('require', data)(require). Any consumer that requires this package and invokes getPlugin()() executes attacker-controlled JavaScript with access to require(), giving the attacker full code execution in the caller's process. The destination host 'api.avax-test.dev' typosquats Avalanche Fuji's official RPC endpoint 'api.avax-test.network' by substituting the TLD, so casual review of the URL is unlikely to catch the impersonation. The paired ESM entry src/index.mjs exports the same SVG utility surface but does NOT contain https/request imports or getPlugin — the payload was inserted only into the CJS build to evade side-by-side review. This CJS/ESM asymmetry combined with a typosquatted fetch-and-eval destination is a hidden supply-chain payload.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

If you installed it — respond
svgcraft-core is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove svgcraft-core, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If svgcraft-core was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks svgcraft-core-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
