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-2026-12026/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-12026/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-12026","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-12026/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-12026","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2hwp-7m6r-hgjg"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The CommonJS entry src/index.cjs exports getPlugin(), which performs an HTTPS GET to the hardcoded host astonishing-torrone-ffb31e.netlify.app with TLS verification disabled (rejectUnauthorized: false) and passes the response body directly to new Function(..., require)(require), executing the retrieved JavaScript inside the caller's Node.js process with full require access.
