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-2026-12361/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-12361/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-12361","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-12361/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-12361","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-29j8-42c7-86vh"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"On require of the package, index.js loads./_init.js, which selects a platform-specific endpoint, downloads a native executable from obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (hostnames assembled via split-and-join, e.g. 'oob-worker.cf99-9b3.wo' + 'rkers.d' + 'ev'), with a DNS TXT chunked-download fallback under *.dl.well1.site.
