Package is published as @vitets/vite-ts and copies the legitimate Vite project's author (Evan You), README, homepage (vitejs.dev), and repository (github.com/vitejs/vite) to impersonate the real vite / @vitejs/* packages, and declares a bin entry named vite so consumers who install it and run the vite CLI execute the package's bin/vite.js. After ~5KB of whitespace padding, bin/vite.js contains an obfuscated payload that uses a custom string-scramble routine to hide identifiers (require, child_process, spawn, eval, hostnames, HTTP/JSON-RPC method names) as numeric indices into a reconstructed string table, defeating static IOC scanning. The decoded routine performs an HTTPS GET and a JSON-RPC POST to remote hosts, XORs the response with a key fetched from a second endpoint, runs eval(r) on the result, and additionally child_process.spawns a detached background process to execute it (with detached:true, windowsHide:true). This gives the publisher arbitrary code execution on the developer's machine every time the vite CLI is invoked, with no integrity check on the fetched code. The package's dist/ bundle also contains base64+Buffer decode primitives consistent with additional obfuscated payload handling.
