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 same entrypoint then shells out to 7z with a hardcoded password to unpack bin/b1n.zip into the working directory; the archive contains a bundled PHP C2 panel (serva/index.php) and related files. Password-protecting the shipped archive with a hardcoded password serves to hide contents from registry scanners rather than any legitimate distribution purpose. The package additionally advertises itself as an L4/L7 DDoS attack toolkit with a 'Create Panel C2' capability; offensive capability toward operator-chosen targets is not itself installer harm, but the mutable third-party dependency reached at CLI startup and the hidden extracted payload are.","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 dxr-dos (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-14240","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":"dxr-dos","purl":"pkg:npm/dxr-dos","source":"MAL-2026-14240"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-19","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-2026-14240/"}
