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-2026-10775/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10775/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-10775","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10775/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-10775","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"Package masquerades as an n8n community node (package.json declares n8n.nodes: [\"MyNode.js\"], a trivial placeholder) while index.js contains an unrelated attack chain that executes as a top-level IIFE at require()-time. Behaviors observed: (1) spawns /bin/bash and wires its stdio to a TCP socket at hardcoded C2 103.27.109.184:8895, yielding an interactive reverse shell on the installer's host; (2) if Docker is available, runs `docker run -v /:/host alpine` and `--privileged nsenter` variants to append a hardcoded attacker ssh-ed25519 key (labeled 'n8n-backdoor') to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the host, establishing persistent root SSH access; (3) collects host recon (hostname, id, hostname -I, docker ps) and reads /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /root/.kube/config and /home/*/.kube/config via the same Docker mount, then POSTs results over raw TCP to 103.27.109.184 ports 8890 and 8891.
