If this package is installed
Remove it, treat the machine (or CI runner) as compromised, and rotate every secret, token and key it could access — from a different, clean machine.

lodhash-cli is a lodash-typosquat whose main entry (index.js) exports an empty object; the package's only behavior is a postinstall dropper. scripts/postinstall.js XOR-decodes (key 'stf2026') a URL pointing at github.com/bebraz1/qPzM50V1AKG0rVlH/releases/.../main.exe, downloads the binary to %TEMP%\main.exe, and spawns it detached with windowsHide. When running under WSL (detected via /proc/version, /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease, WSL_DISTRO_NAME), it XOR-decodes a powershell.exe command line and executes it via child_process.exec to run the same fetched binary on the Windows host from inside the Linux subsystem. In parallel, the script POSTs a platform label to http://193.70.34.101:20099/vote (host assembled by joining ['193','70','34','101'] to evade literal-string detection), a plain-HTTP install-success beacon. URLs and shell commands are stored as XOR-encoded byte arrays and reconstructed at runtime; no hash or signature verification is performed on the fetched executable. The download source is a personal GitHub account unrelated to any lodash publisher, and the package advertises no functionality other than the dropper.
