Несколько месяцев назад я делал плановую проверку кодовой базы на одном из проектов и нашёл обфусцированный код в файле vite.config.js. Он был на той же строке что и закрывающий };, но сдвинут вправо на несколько сотен пробелов — туда, куда ни один diff-вьюер не прокрутит и ни один редактор не покажет без горизонтального скролла.Я пошёл смотреть через git log — какой коммит это принёс.
