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-2026-13451/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13451/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-13451","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13451/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-13451","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c9w9-2cw6-865g"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"nms-dashboard-js@9.9.11 declares an npm install lifecycle hook (`scripts.install: \"node index.js\"`) that unconditionally requires `./lib/core` inside a swallow-all try/catch. The loaded code reads `os.userInfo().username`, `os.hostname()`, and the basename of `process.cwd()`, concatenates them with a timestamp into a subdomain of `oob.sl4x0.xyz`, and issues a `dns.resolve4` lookup, exfiltrating installer host identifiers via DNS out-of-band. The destination domain and the API/property names (`os`, `dns`, `userInfo`, `hostname`, `cwd`, `resolve4`, `oob.sl4x0.xyz`) are reconstructed at runtime from hex char-code arrays in `lib/b02e30.js` and `lib/6ad264.js` to conceal the sink.
