Malicious code in @onereach/phonenumber-interpreter (npm)

T1059.007 · JavaScriptT1105 · Ingress Tool TransferT1027 · Obfuscated Files or Information

Analysis

The package's preinstall hook (setup.mjs) downloads the Bun JavaScript runtime and uses it to execute a 727KB heavily-obfuscated file (math_init.js) at install time. The obfuscated payload uses a custom string-encoding scheme that hides its behavior from static analysis. The package is presented as a libphonenumber wrapper, but the obfuscated install-time payload is unrelated to phone-number parsing. The legitimate libphonenumber code ships separately in lib/index.js; math_init.js is an injected payload executed during installation.
