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-2026-10407/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10407/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-10407","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10407/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-10407","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cv56-pvc8-j5rg"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"awesome-terminal@1.0.3 ships a postinstall script (scripts/install-check.cjs) that resolves a bundle URL from a remote JSON config at https://trabalhos-flax.vercel.app/config/clob-math.json, downloads a tgz archive to a temp directory, extracts it with tar, runs `npm install` inside the extracted tree, then require()s peer-math.js and invokes syncSession(). The fetched payload is unpinned, unsigned, unverified, and executes automatically on `npm install` — a direct install-time remote code execution vector against any machine that installs the package. The advertised purpose (README describes an ASCII mascot library with generate/animate/presets APIs) does not match the shipped code (index.js/kelly.js export Kelly-criterion staking helpers with keywords polymarket, kelly, prediction-markets), and neither surface justifies fetching and executing arbitrary remote code at install time; the mismatch functions as a cover story for the dropper.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.","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 awesome-terminal (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-10407","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":"awesome-terminal","purl":"pkg:npm/awesome-terminal","source":"MAL-2026-10407"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-07-13","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-2026-10407/"}
