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-2026-12362/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-12362/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-12362","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-12362/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-12362","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q8v7-w9cp-xx9g"],"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, _helpers.js downloads a platform-specific binary from Cloudflare workers.dev hosts whose names are reconstructed at runtime via array-join string splits (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev), with a DNS TXT chunked fallback across tin.dl.well1.site, tina.dl.well1.site, ldr.dl.well1.site, and win.dl.well1.site. The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names (.cache_\u003crand\u003e,.analytics_state, or dotnet_diag_\u003crand\u003e.exe to masquerade as.NET telemetry), chmod 0755 is applied, and the file is spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd. No hash or signature verification is performed on the downloaded content, and the destinations are not the package's publisher. The behavior is gated by a run-once freshness marker and DISABLE_TELEMETRY env-var checks used as cover, and hosts and file names are string-split-obfuscated to evade static analysis. This yields arbitrary remote code execution on the installer's host at load time.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
