MAL-2026-10427 Malicious code in svg-fetcher (npm)

index.js exports getPlugin(), which fetches JSON from the hardcoded endpoint https://svganchordev.net/icons/106 and passes the response field data.credits to new Function(require, module, exports,…, Promise, data.credits), executing attacker-controlled JavaScript with full Node privileges (require, process, Buffer, globals available to the injected function). A sibling export setDefaultModule() constructs a benign-looking cdnjs font-awesome URL that matches the README's advertised SVG-fetching purpose but is never used by getPlugin(), serving as a cover story for the remote loader. Declared dependencies (@primno/dpapi, better-sqlite3, node-machine-id) are consistent with Windows DPAPI credential/browser-database access that a downloaded payload could invoke. The tarball also ships an unencrypted ed25519 OpenSSH private key (file 'gitlab' with comment testm@DESKTOP-PO28IS1) and its matching public key; the key is not read by the loader and represents an author-side exposure rather than an installer-side attack path.

Any 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.
