'atlasora' npm info-stealer campaign

cyrokai's scanners flagged a same-day cluster of malicious npm packages published under the atlasora- prefix, all at version 1.0.0. They share a prefix, a publish date, and an identical payload, so we treat them as a single campaign.

The classification is Masquerading: the names impersonate a legitimate atlasora SDK suite, but none ship any real functionality. Every package carries the same install hook, install.js (SHA-256 5849f99b3c22a51b079d3d793718c0b48cde0e1c6ed7d7738edaf87e8e01eb88, 3681 bytes), which runs on install to gather host and environment data and exfiltrate it. In short, they are info-stealers.

If any of these are in your dependency tree, remove them and treat the affected machine as compromised: rotate credentials, tokens, and SSH keys reachable from it. As a general guard, review and pin brand-new, zero-reputation packages before installing.
