It is a lure used in DPRK Contagious Interview style social engineering, where a targeted developer is asked to clone, run or review the project as part of a fake hiring process. A developer who consumes the repository can be infected with a DPRK payload that includes PolinRider. NFT and e-commerce themes are aimed at cryptocurrency and web3 developers.\n\nMalicious payload found in: `frontend/public/images/splash.png`\n\n- Detection: the file contains the PolinRider loader signature, a global-scope `require` alias followed by a `typeof module` check against an obfuscated string-table lookup. Confirmed by a regex match against the raw file at the commit in the evidence link.\n- Disguise: the file carries a .png extension but contains text JavaScript (4600 bytes), unlike the fake-font and config-file placements usually seen with PolinRider.\n- Delivery: the payload was added in the repository's second commit, shortly after the initial commit.\n- Not determined: the payload was not decoded in this report, so the second stage and C2 are not enumerated.","supportingMedia":null}],"references":[{"url":"https://opensourcemalware.com/threats/f374cd73-0c67-4d98-abce-97d7f39db3fb","name":"Malicious repository: https://github.com/DARQ-Envoy/DCUK-Technical-Assessment","tags":["advisory"]}],"metrics":[{"format":"CVSS_V3","scenarios":null,"cvssV2_0":null,"cvssV3_0":null,"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":8.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"},"cvssV4_0":null,"other":null}],"problemTypes":[{"descriptions":[{"lang":"en","description":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506","type":"CWE"}]}],"affected":[{"vendor":"unknown","product":"","collectionURL":"","packageName":"","repo":"https://github.com/DARQ-Envoy/DCUK-Technical-Assessment","defaultStatus":"affected","versions":[{"version":"all","status":"affected","versionType":"","lessThan":"","lessThanOrEqual":"","changes":null}],"cpes":null,"modules":null,"programFiles":null,"platforms":null}],"cpeApplicability":null,"rejectedReasons":null,"replacedBy":null},"adp":null}}
