Summary

Attackers reportedly used a maintainer’s stolen token to inject malicious code into lottie-player 2.0.5–2.0.7, prompting wallet connections on affected sites. The versions were removed; sites should update to 2.0.8 or revert to 2.0.4.

  • The injected code displayed Web3 wallet connection and signature prompts on sites using the affected library.
