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-2026-10510/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10510/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-10510","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10510/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-10510","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q9rm-w335-55w5"],"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 (exports a middleware aliased as `pino`, ships pino-like files such as proto.js, redaction.js, multistream.js, transport.js) but its actual runtime effect is to launch a remote code loader. Requiring the package invokes a middleware factory that spawns a detached Node child process running lib/caller.js. That script decodes a base64-encoded URL constant (DEV_API_KEY = \"aHR0cHM6Ly9qc29ua2VlcGVyLmNvbS9iL1hSR0Yz\" → https://jsonkeeper.com/b/XRGF3; additional endpoints include https://jsonkeeper.com/b/4NAKK and https://jsonhosting.com/api/json/f1a66ab0/raw), fetches the JSON document via axios, extracts a `cookie` field, and passes its contents to `new Function.constructor(\"require\", s)(require)`, executing attacker-controlled JavaScript in the installer's Node process with full `require` access. The remote endpoints are anonymous paste-style hosts whose content can be changed by whoever controls the paste at any time.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
