If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3.

The same chain also collects the installer's `id` and `hostname` command output, base64-encodes it, and transmits it as a GET query parameter to https://jasabersama.id/portfolio-data.php with TLS verification disabled. Both triggers fire without user interaction: the postinstall hook runs on `npm install`, and the identical main entry re-runs the chain on `require`/`import` (including when n8n loads this as a community node). The package presents as an n8n utility helper but ships no such functionality; its only behavior is dropping and executing attacker-hosted DDoS tooling while beaconing host identity to the attacker's C2.","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-k (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-13894","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-k","purl":"pkg:npm/%40years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-k","source":"MAL-2026-13894"}],"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-2026-13894/"}
