The collected data is POSTed as JSON to a hardcoded endpoint at webhook.cool (path /at/tender-deer-80/...). index.js exports an empty object, so the package has no legitimate library functionality — its only effect on install is credential exfiltration, with CI environments explicitly targeted.","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 cheeriobox (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-10585","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":"cheeriobox","purl":"pkg:npm/cheeriobox","source":"MAL-2026-10585"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-07-14","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-2026-10585/"}
