CVE-2025-59331 Details
Description
is-arrayish checks if an object can be used like an Array. On 8 September 2025, an npm publishing account for is-arrayish was taken over after a phishing attack. Version 0.3.3 was published, functionally identical to the previous patch version, but with a malware payload added attempting to redirect cryptocurrency transactions to the attacker's own addresses from within browser environments. Local environments, server environments, command line applications, etc. are not affected. If the package was used in a browser context (e.g. a direct <script> inclusion, or via a bundling tool such as Babel, Rollup, Vite, Next.js, etc.) there is a chance the malware still exists and such bundles will need to be rebuilt. The malware seemingly only targets cryptocurrency transactions and wallets such as MetaMask. See references below for more information on the payload. npm removed the offending package from the registry over the course of the day on 8 September, preventing further downloads from npm proper. On 13 September, the package owner published new patch versions to help cache-bust those using private registries who might still have the compromised version cached. Users should update to the latest patch version, completely remove their node_modules directory, clean their package manager's global cache, and rebuild any browser bundles from scratch. Those operating private registries or registry mirrors should purge the offending versions from any caches. This issue is resolved in 0.3.4.
A vulnerability in the 'is-arrayish' npm package, specifically in version 0.3.3, allows for the injection of malware that redirects cryptocurrency transactions to attacker-controlled addresses. This issue arose from a phishing attack that compromised the package author's npm account, leading to the publication of a malicious version. The malware targets transactions in browser environments, including those using popular bundling tools and frameworks. It specifically affects wallets like MetaMask by intercepting and altering transaction data before it is signed, creating a risk of unauthorized fund transfers.
Users should update the 'is-arrayish' package to version 0.3.4, which removes the malware. After updating, it's recommended to completely delete the 'node_modules' directory, clean the package manager's global cache, and rebuild any browser bundles from scratch. Those using private registries should purge the compromised version from their cache.
