ulid-xyz is a typosquat of the popular ulid library (sortable unique IDs) and is a cross-platform Remote Access Trojan delivered via a postinstall hook. The package.json postinstall superficially looks like an inline node -e guard that checks for the existence of a dist file, but it actually launches dist/node/utils.js as a detached background process, which in turn runs dist/node/payload.js -- a 467 KB bundled RAT. payload.js decodes XOR+base64-obfuscated configuration (_CFG.WS / _CFG.HTTP) to beacon to a hardcoded attacker-controlled C2 over WebSocket at ws://95.216.232.162:8010/ (with an HTTP fallback at http://95.216.232.162:8010/), establishing a WebSocket RAT channel. It installs persistence on all three major operating systems under the stem MicrosoftSystem64: on Windows under %LOCALAPPDATA%\MicrosoftSystem64; on macOS under ~/Library/Application Support/MicrosoftSystem64 plus a LaunchAgent at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.launchkeeper.MicrosoftSystem64.plist; and on Linux under ~/.local/share/MicrosoftSystem64. The install-time detached spawn (process management capability) and the ~8x package size spike (64 KB to 536 KB) correspond to the bundled RAT payload -- behavior a ULID library has no legitimate need for. All versions of ulid-xyz were published by the same actor (iloiyxo643 / iloiyxo643@ufiwi.space, a disposable email address) and are considered malicious.
