The listed version(s) were trojanized and republished by the worm after it reached an npm publish token belonging to a maintainer in this namespace; the payload enumerates every package a stolen token controls and republishes each with the same hook, so many packages under this scope were poisoned in the same short window. Every poisoned release adds a preinstall hook (`\"preinstall\": \"node setup.mjs\"`) that runs on a bare `npm install`, before any project code. setup.mjs downloads a standalone Bun runtime and runs a byte-identical, heavily obfuscated ~728 KB second-stage credential stealer (shipped as Math_Symbol.js / math_init.js). It harvests GitHub, npm, AWS, GCP, Azure, HashiCorp Vault and Kubernetes credentials plus generic secrets and private keys (TruffleHog-style sweep), reads CI/CD secrets and identifies build runners, then republishes further packages the stolen token can reach. Rather than a fixed command-and-control host, it exfiltrates stolen findings to attacker-created GitHub repositories (descriptions reading \"Shai-Hulud: Here We Go Again\") and over DNS. Treat any environment that installed an affected version (with install scripts enabled) as compromised: rotate and revoke all reachable credentials (npm and GitHub tokens, cloud keys, Vault/Kubernetes secrets, and CI org/repo secrets). Part of the August 2026 npm worm that poisoned 400+ packages across many organizations.\n\nThe package declares a preinstall hook (`node setup.mjs`) that automatically executes on `npm install`. setup.mjs is itself obfuscated with `_0x`-style hex variable names and string-property dictionaries characteristic of obfuscator.io output. At install time it detects the host platform and libc (including musl/Alpine), downloads the Bun runtime as a zip from https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/download/bun-v1.3.13/, extracts it via unzip/PowerShell/inline ZIP reader, chmods the binary 0o755, and invokes it against a package-local `math_init.js`. `math_init.js` is a 727KB heavily obfuscated `@bun @bun-cjs` bundle using rotated string-array packing (`WV8StW` shift function, large mixed numeric/string constant tables) with no documented source or purpose. The package advertises itself as an ESLint configuration, a role that has no legitimate need for a second language runtime or an opaque bundled payload. The combination of an obfuscated lifecycle script, install-time fetch of an alternate runtime, and automatic execution of an obfuscated bundle unrelated to the declared purpose is the alternate-runtime dropper pattern, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the installer's machine on `npm install`.\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 @ornikar/eslint-config (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-11745","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":"@ornikar/eslint-config","purl":"pkg:npm/%40ornikar/eslint-config","source":"MAL-2026-11745"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-04","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-2026-11745/"}
