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-2026-10512/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10512/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-10512","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10512/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-10512","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h8x5-f48q-v2h7"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"type-unique@3.1.3 presents itself as the pino logger (matching README, keywords, and package shape) but on require() its index.js spawns a detached `node lib/caller.js` child process.

Additional C2 URLs (https://jsonkeeper.com/b/XRGF3, https://jsonkeeper.com/b/4NAKK) are stored base64-encoded as fake `DEV_API_KEY` constants in lib/caller.js and lib/const.js to hide the destinations.
