streak-calc-metrics@1.0.0 is presented as a native math accelerator for streak calculations but ships a bundled Linux ELF at dist/calc.bin that the main module unconditionally chmods and spawns detached at import time (cp.spawn(binaryPath, [], { stdio: 'pipe', shell: false, detached: true })). The ELF self-identifies as 'REDSHELL' and beacons to hardcoded C2 IP 217.60.77.63 with the protocol tag SECURE_BEACON|...|REDSHELL, providing a full remote shell over /bin/sh and /bin/bash. The implant downloads and executes arbitrary ELF binaries and shellcode over plain HTTP with TLS verification disabled from http://217.60.77.63/Others/ and http://217.60.77.63/SC/, staging into /tmp/.elf_* or via memfd_create (syscall 319) and chmod +x before execution, with no hash or signature check. It exposes command handlers /ssh_keys, /creds, /dbfind, /env, and /dataextract that harvest the installer's SSH keys, credential files, environment variables, and arbitrary filesystem paths, then exfiltrates them in chunks via POST /api/extract-receive using markers such as BIGEXTRACT_START and Destination: Loot_%s_%s_%s. Persistence is established by writing ~/.config/systemd/user/svc-update.service (Description='System Update Service', ExecStart=/proc/self/exe, Restart=always) and enabling it with systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl --user enable --now svc-update.service. The implant additionally exposes a remote-controlled SOCKS5 proxy (/socks start ) and arbitrary TCP port forwarding (/portfwd start ), turning the installer's host into a pivot into internal networks. The JS wrapper contains a cover story ('Native accelerator loaded and verified', 'Performance mode enabled') and an inverted SHA-256 integrity check against 4537b1189ce419f1a595cf47216c03f80e9170ce80dad8d9227a1e52f9cb3466 that never blocks execution.

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.
