Every version was published to cause harm.\n\nTask:\n1. Search this repository's dependency manifests and lockfiles for the package, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4. If the package is not used anywhere, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10082/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10082/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-10082","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10082/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-10082","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4r3j-x465-77rv"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The package presents itself as a pino-compatible logger (lib/ directory mirrors pino's internal file layout — proto.js, levels.js, redaction.js, multistream.js, transport.js, tools.js, symbols.js, worker.js; keywords 'fast,logger,stream,json'; module.exports.pino alias) but its main entry index.js exports a middleware-style `check` function that, when invoked, spawns a detached `node lib/vcall.js` subprocess with `stdio:'inherit'` and `child.unref()` so the loader survives the parent process. lib/vcall.js retrieves JavaScript from a hardcoded IPFS gateway URL (https://emerald-accurate-urial-9.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafkreify2ijjvromekknzxzvqaopft6muwlpl37mvmpdeazwzzkbjzkuxm) via axios and executes the response body with `new Function.constructor('require', src)(require)` in a 5-retry loop, giving the fetched code full access to the consumer's Node runtime, filesystem, network, and environment. lib/const.js additionally ships a base64-encoded jsonkeeper paste URL (decodes to https://jsonkeeper.com/b/ZK45J) and a.env with DEV_API_CHECK_DOMAIN=http://vercel-five-coral.vercel.app/, staging additional mutable payload channels. The IPFS-served content is attacker-mutable and opaque; consumers who install and invoke this package as advertised (as a logger/middleware) receive arbitrary remote code execution.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Malicious code in chain-async-dom (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-10082","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"malicious","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":[],"last_affected":[],"package":"chain-async-dom","purl":"pkg:npm/chain-async-dom","source":"MAL-2026-10082"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-07-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"OpenSSF Malicious Packages","prefix":"MAL"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10082/"}
