Reviewed threat campaign
Injective SDK wallet-key exfiltration
Socket documented a compromised @injectivelabs/sdk-ts npm release that added fake telemetry behavior to sensitive key-derivation code and published related scoped packages pinned to the malicious version.
Uncertainty
The reviewed report states that the malicious release was quickly contained, but downloadable artifacts and downstream exposure can vary. HOL does not infer victim losses from package download statistics.
Limitations
- Any secret material processed by an affected library version must be handled according to the incident source guidance; Guard cannot retroactively revoke exposed keys.
Timeline
- · Injective SDK wallet-key exfiltration was first observed in the reviewed source material.
- · The reviewed source published or updated its defensive analysis and remediation guidance.
Publication clock: 755.5 hours from reviewed disclosure timestamp to HOL publication; 12-hour critical target; historical backfill outside target.
Guard coverage and non-coverage
- partial: coverage:stable:codex — Install-time review can help on eligible package actions, but the reported malicious behavior executed during library use; Guard does not claim universal mediation of arbitrary application code.
Defensive policy guidance
- Require review or explicit approval for new or changed dependency installation before an eligible package-manager action executes.
Status: available. Coverage depends on the active Guard release, package manager, harness event surface, and local policy. It is not a guarantee that every dependency path is intercepted.
