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.

Captured content is POSTed to the hardcoded endpoint https://iq-sec.vercel.app/api, which the installer never configured. Responses from that endpoint drive pyautogui / keyboard keystroke synthesis on the installer's host (force_paste bound to alt+v, mash-mode typing loops), turning server-controlled text into local keyboard input in the active window. To run the payload, index.js first attempts `winget install Python.Python.3.12 --silent`; on failure it silently downloads the python.org 3.12.3 Windows installer to %TEMP% and executes it with `/quiet InstallAllUsers=0 PrependPath=1` under `stdio: 'ignore'`, with in-source comments describing this as a 'Ghost Installer' with 'No UI, No Admin Popup'. A bundled start_tool.vbs uses Shell.Application.ShellExecute with window state 0 to launch pointer.py hidden in the background. The Python payload also constructs stealth Tk windows (empty titles, transparent overlays, overrideredirect) to hide its runtime UI.","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 nibra1 (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-14284","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":"nibra1","purl":"pkg:npm/nibra1","source":"MAL-2026-14284"}],"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-2026-14284/"}
