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. If the package is not used anywhere, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10994/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10994/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-10994","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10994/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-10994","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wcx6-x67q-wff5"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"On npm install, the package's postinstall hook (`node test.js`) auto-executes multiple attacker-controlled operations against the installer's machine. (1) `from_str_2` fetches an SSH public key from http://170.205.31.203:3001/api/ssh-key and appends it to `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`, then runs `sudo ufw allow 22/tcp` to ensure inbound SSH is reachable — granting the operator persistent remote login to the host. (2) `from_str_1` recursively walks `process.cwd()` for `id.json` (Solana keypairs), `config.toml`, `Config.toml`, `env`, and `.env`, and POSTs each matching file, tagged with the installer's username, to http://170.205.31.203:3000/api/v1. (3) `from_str_2` also retrieves scan/block filename patterns from http://170.205.31.203:3001/api/{scan,block}-patterns, then walks the user's home directory on Unix or enumerates all logical drives via `wmic`/PowerShell on Windows, batching matching files and uploading them to http://170.205.31.203:3001/api/v1 with username and platform metadata. Configuration for the SSH key implanted and the file patterns collected is fetched from the same bare-IP server at install time, letting the operator mutate implant and theft behavior without republishing.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.","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 app-data-ist (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-10994","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":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"app-data-ist","purl":"pkg:npm/app-data-ist","source":"MAL-2026-10994"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-07-22","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-2026-10994/"}
