### Discovery

At 9:14 AM UTC on 22 Apr 2025, Ripple teams were alerted by a security researcher from Aikido Security about a breach in the `xrpl` package in the npmjs.com repository. The malicious package contained a function called `checkValidityOfSeed`, which triggers a call to the attacker’s domain to surreptitiously steal information used to assemble an XRPL private key.

Ripple and the XRPL Foundation began investigating the incident, and learned from the Aikido team that versions `4.2.1` through `4.2.4` (as well as `2.14.2`) were impacted. As part of this discovery process, Ripple engineering teams verified that malicious code was initially implemented within the functions `generate(algorithm = DEFAULT algorithm)` and `fromRFC1751Mnemonic(mnemonic, opts)`. This code was published in all cases directly into npm (bypassing all PR approval processes) using the same compromised user account.
