Analysis

Package streak-metrics-core@1.0.0 is a trojanized clone that bundles a REDSHELL C2 implant. On import, dist/index.mjs spawns dist/core-math.bin — a 63KB Linux x86_64 ELF binary providing full remote shell access. The implant beacons to C2 infrastructure (IP 217[.]60[.]77[.]63) with system profiling data, and supports: remote command execution via a /redshell command system; credential theft (SSH keys from ~/.ssh, browser login data and cookies from Chrome/Chromium/Brave/Edge/Firefox, database credentials from config files and env); persistence via systemd user service, cron @reboot, and bashrc injection; SOCKS proxy and port forwarding; file exfiltration via catbox.moe; and in-memory payload execution via memfd and shellcode staging. The binary uses OpenSSL for encrypted C2 communication.
