Root Cause Analysis
The advisory explicitly states that the package contained malicious code targeting Ethereum transactions, but no source code, commit diffs, or specific function names are provided in the vulnerability disclosure. Without access to the actual codebase or implementation details of buffer-xmr@2.0.2
, it's impossible to identify specific vulnerable functions with high confidence. The malicious behavior (unauthorized crypto transactions) could be implemented in multiple ways (e.g., hidden in installation scripts, obfuscated code, or dependency chains) that aren't visible from the provided metadata.
