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.

The module selects a platform-specific payload, downloads a binary via https.get, writes it to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under cover-story names such as.cache_\u003chex\u003e and dotnet_diag_\u003chex\u003e.exe, chmods it to 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c on POSIX or cmd.exe /c start /b on Windows. There is no hash or signature verification of the fetched bytes, the destination hosts are unrelated to any documented publisher for a claims/person API adapter, and the reconstruction of URLs from split fragments plus DNS-TXT covert-channel fallback are evasion techniques rather than delivery hygiene. The package name suggests a benign adapter library, but its only observed effect on import is retrieving and executing attacker-controlled code on the installer host.","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 claims-person-api-adapters (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-12635","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":"claims-person-api-adapters","purl":"pkg:npm/claims-person-api-adapters","source":"MAL-2026-12635"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-05","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-2026-12635/"}
