Merge commit 9cb1eab added 21 files that exist in neither of its parents, so they appeared in no pull-request diff: .vscode/tasks.json auto-runs on folderOpen, hidden, silent public/fonts/fa-solid-400.woff2 32 KB of obfuscated JavaScript, not a font public/fonts/* decoy FontAwesome files planted as camouflage .vscode/{extensions,settings,spellright.dict} The payload fetches a second stage over Ethereum JSON-RPC and runs it via eval and a detached 'node -e' child process. The same merge also edited two existing files: .gitignore dropped the '.vscode/*' ignore so the task would be tracked, and added itself plus three attacker tool names .vscode/launch.json replaced with an unrelated AWS/SST JavaScript config Both are restored to their pre-attack contents. No BindsNET source file was modified by the injection. The payload blob is preserved in git history as cc50ab8 for analysis.

The payload fetches a second stage over Ethereum JSON-RPC and runs it via eval and a detached 'node -e' child process.
