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 command and target package name are both hidden behind base64 constants and misleading identifiers framed as SVG validation. Silencing flags (--silent, --no-audit, --no-fund, windowsHide) suppress user-visible output of the install. The result is that any consumer calling the package's advertised plugin API pulls and executes a separate npm package, whose contents are controlled by whoever owns that name, on the caller's machine.","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 vite-svg-config (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-14140","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":"vite-svg-config","purl":"pkg:npm/vite-svg-config","source":"MAL-2026-14140"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-18","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-2026-14140/"}
