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.

Its index.js exports an empty object; the only functional code is scripts/postinstall.js, which runs automatically on npm install. The postinstall script POSTs a JSON payload with platform/arch/node info to a hardcoded plain-HTTP endpoint at 193.70.34.101:20099/vote (host assembled from a split integer array). It then XOR-decodes obfuscated blobs (ADDON_ENC, BRIDGE_LAUNCHER_ENC, BRIDGE_SCRIPT_PRE_ENC, BRIDGE_SCRIPT_POST_ENC) using the 7-byte key 'stf2026' to reconstruct a github.com download URL and shell launcher commands. On Windows it downloads the decoded binary to %TEMP%/main.exe and launches it detached; on WSL/virtualized Linux it executes a decoded PowerShell-style bridge command to run the Windows payload on the host. URL and shell-command obfuscation, bare-IP plain-HTTP telemetry, write-to-temp with detached exec, and a WSL-to-Windows-host bridge together form an install-time remote-code-execution dropper.","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 commandorjs (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-14174","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":"commandorjs","purl":"pkg:npm/commandorjs","source":"MAL-2026-14174"}],"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-2026-14174/"}
