80KB jammed into `node-ipc.cjs` is the artifact-poisoning path DeFi teams miss when reviews stop at GitHub commits and never compare npm tarballs. Socket says it flagged the malware within ~3 minutes, but an unlocked CI runner can still pull 12.0.1, dump `process.env`, kubeconfigs, Terraform state, GitHub tokens, and relayer creds before humans wake up. For crypto teams, treat any exposed runner like a compromised deployer: revoke RPC admin keys, rotate Defender/keeper secrets, rebuild frontends from clean locks, and audit post-May-14 releases for poisoned artifacts.
