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 poses as an n8n community node (nodes/PwnNode.node.js exports only a stub description) while `main` (index.js) is identical to the postinstall exfil script, so both `npm install` and any `require` of the package trigger the beacon. The name mimics legitimate `n8n-nodes-*` community naming.","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 @years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-f (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-13889","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":"@years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-f","purl":"pkg:npm/%40years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-f","source":"MAL-2026-13889"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-12","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-2026-13889/"}
