@ai-agent-node/createnode ships a ~12-line main module that, on require, fetches https://api.github.com/gists/198a0bbec7a6018e9250615d26e37b90 (owner: getchainverse) and passes the first file's content directly to eval(). The package has empty author/description metadata and no other functionality; its entire behavior is loading and executing attacker-mutable third-party Gist content. Any consumer that imports this package executes arbitrary JavaScript pulled from a Gist under an unrelated account, and that content can be swapped by its owner at any 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.
