Quasar RAT Disguised as an npm Package for Detecting Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts
Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.
The algorithm is intended to minimize real valued multivariate scalar fields over a hyper-rectangular region of N, theoretically the only prerequisite to achieve convergence is that the function must be continuous in the domain or at least continuous over a neighborhood of the global minimum.

const options = {
iterations: 50,
};
const lowerBoundaries = [-1, -1.5];
const upperBoundaries = [2, 6];
const predicted = direct(griewank, lowerBoundaries, upperBoundaries, options);
function griewank(x) {
let d = x.length;
let s = 0;
let p = 1;
for (let i = 0; i < d; i++) {
s += Math.pow(x[i], 2) / Math.sqrt(4000);
p *= Math.cos(x[i] / Math.sqrt(i + 1));
}
let result = s - p + 1;
return result;
}
// predicted.minFunctionValue = 0;
// predicted.optima[0] = [0, 0]; This are the points where the function has minimum value
