solidity-dev
Advanced tools
This module is highly suspicious and very likely malicious. On import, it drops an embedded binary payload to a hidden directory in the user’s home (~/.config/.npm-cache/snapd-network), marks it executable, and persists execution via periodic cron updates. It also attempts targeted removal of specific Python package metadata ('solidity_dev' dist/egg-info) and deletes __pycache__, consistent with sabotage and anti-forensics in a supply-chain context. The snippet’s embedded payload bytes are not verifiable from the excerpt, but the persistence/drop/chmod pattern is clear.
