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.

The package name (`unpkg-xss-test`) and GTFOBins-style wordlist shape indicate this is a browser XSS-delivered path-enumeration payload; when loaded in Node (fetch is global in Node 18+), the installer conducts the scan against a third party. This covertly weaponizes the installer's identity for reconnaissance against an unrelated site, exposing the installer to abuse reports, IP blocklisting, and potential legal complaints for unauthorized scanning.","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 @itsreduxtm/unpkg-xss-test (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-13431","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":"@itsreduxtm/unpkg-xss-test","purl":"pkg:npm/%40itsreduxtm/unpkg-xss-test","source":"MAL-2026-13431"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-06","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-2026-13431/"}
