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-2026-14204/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-14204/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-14204","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-14204/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-14204","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"Package declares scripts.install=\"node index.js\", which top-level requires lib/core.js. lib/core.js reads os.userInfo().username, os.hostname(), and process.cwd(), joins them with a package tag and timestamp, and issues dns.resolve4() against a subdomain of oob.sl4x0.xyz — a DNS-tunneled beacon to an attacker-controlled out-of-band collector. The destination host oob.sl4x0.xyz and the Node API names (os, dns, userInfo, hostname, cwd, resolve4) are stored as hex byte arrays in lib/b02e30.js and lib/6ad264.js and reconstructed at runtime via String.fromCharCode to disguise the recon path.
