On July 2, a victim reached out to the SlowMist team after losing crypto assets. The cause? Running a seemingly legitimate GitHub project — zldp2002/solana-pumpfun-bot. 🕳️What looked safe turned out to be a cleverly disguised trap. Our analysis revealed: 1️⃣The perpetrator disguised a malicious program as a legit open-source project (solana-pumpfun-bot), luring users to download and run it. 2️⃣Its artificial popularity (stars/forks) masked the threat — users unknowingly ran a Node.js project with embedded malicious dependencies, exposing their private keys and losing assets. This social + technical combo made it highly deceptive. ⚠️Reminder: Never blindly trust GitHub projects, especially when private keys or wallets are involved. If you must test them, do so in a sandboxed, isolated environment with no sensitive data. 🔗Full article: https://slowmist.medium.com/a-popular-solana-tool-on-github-conceals-a-crypto-stealing-trap-bfef0aed63d7 #Web3Security #NodeJS #OpenSourceSecurity #GitHub
