AI summary

Indexed incident for vps-new-manager (npm).

Description

The package's main entry (dist/index.js) re-exports createServerAdapter from./server/index.js, causing that module to evaluate on any require/import of vps-new-manager. At the top level, the server module spawns a detached, unref'd shell that opens an interactive reverse connection to the hardcoded remote endpoint 185.112.147.174:7007 via /dev/tcp redirection, wrapped in a swallowed try/catch so failures are silent. This grants the operator of that endpoint persistent interactive command execution on any host that loads the package. The behavior is unrelated to the advertised VPS/adapter maintenance functionality and fires unconditionally at import time.

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.
