CVE-2025-32965 is a software supply chain compromise affecting xrpl.js, a JavaScript/TypeScript library used to interact with the XRP Ledger from Node.js and browser environments. Versions 4.2.1 through 4.2.4 and 2.14.2 were published with malicious code intentionally inserted into the package. The implanted code was designed to capture private key material and exfiltrate it to attacker-controlled infrastructure. Because xrpl.js is commonly used in wallet, signing, and ledger-integration workflows, the malicious package could expose highly sensitive cryptographic secrets during normal application execution.

This repository is a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) for CVE-2025-32965, demonstrating a supply chain attack on the xrpl.js library (versions 4.2.1–4.2.4 and 2.14.2). The exploit consists of a malicious module (fake_xrpl.js) that exfiltrates the generated wallet seed to an attacker-controlled HTTP endpoint (http://poc-listener:3000/xcm). The repository includes Docker configuration to set up an isolated test environment with two containers: one acting as the victim (generating and leaking the seed) and one as the attacker (receiving the seed). The main exploit logic is in fake_xrpl.js, which is invoked by test.js. The server.js file implements the attacker's listener. The repository structure is clear, with code files for the PoC, a Dockerfile for environment setup, and a detailed README explaining the vulnerability, setup, and demonstration steps. No real-world endpoints are hardcoded; the PoC uses a local Docker network for demonstration.
