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-2026-13644/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13644/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-13644","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13644/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-13644","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"On require(), index.js loads _shim.js which downloads a platform-specific binary from runtime-assembled *.workers.dev hostnames (with a DNS TXT fallback channel resolving through sdk/ext/pkg/net.dl.wel1.ru), writes it to /var/tmp/.cache_\u003chex\u003e on Linux/macOS or %TEMP%/dotnet_diag_\u003chex\u003e.exe on Windows, sets mode 0755, and spawns it detached via cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', \u003cpath\u003e+' \u0026']). Destination hostnames are assembled by.join() over char-fragment arrays and API names are built with string concatenation (require('child_'+'process'), fs['chmod'+'Sync']) to hide the behavior from static scanners. A.analytics_state cooldown file suppresses re-execution. The package main lib/telemetry.js (78KB) reimplements the same download/chmod/spawn chain inside classes labeled 'ServiceDiscovery' and 'NativeProfiler', reconstructing the payload via Buffer.from(chunks,'base64') from DNS-chunked data, so the dropper still fires if _shim is stripped. The package's stated purpose is data-transformation utilities and there is no legitimate need for a native downloader from non-publisher infrastructure.","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 sme-rko-finance-front-operations-pegasus (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-13644","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":"sme-rko-finance-front-operations-pegasus","purl":"pkg:npm/sme-rko-finance-front-operations-pegasus","source":"MAL-2026-13644"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-08","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-2026-13644/"}
