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.

On npm install and on require, index.js loads lib/core.js, which reads os.userInfo().username, os.hostname(), and process.cwd(), concatenates them with a 'paypal' prefix, a timestamp, and the domain oob.sl4x0.xyz, and issues a dns.resolve4 query against the resulting subdomain, beaconing installer identifiers over DNS to an author-controlled domain. The destination host and the names of the os/dns/process APIs and their methods (userInfo, hostname, cwd, resolve4) are reconstructed at runtime from char-code arrays in lib/b02e30.js and lib/6ad264.js, hiding the exfil endpoint and sensitive API references from static inspection. The package name resembles a compliance-policy service but the shipped code performs no such function; the sole install/import-time effect is the DNS beacon.","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 compliancepolicyserv (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-10458","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":"compliancepolicyserv","purl":"pkg:npm/compliancepolicyserv","source":"MAL-2026-10458"}],"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-2026-10458/"}
