MAL-2026-14307 Malicious code in express-route-engine (npm)

On require/import, index.js immediately invokes an initializer that HTTP-GETs a JSON document from https://api.jsonbin.io/v3/b/6a4f5816f5f4af5e29762c92, extracts the record.cerookie field, and executes its contents as JavaScript via new (Function.constructor)('require',...)(require). The evaluated code runs with full Node.js privileges and access to require, and the payload is hosted on a third-party mutable JSON store controlled by the package author, so the executed code can change at any time without republishing. The file is cover-labeled as normalize-path (ES6 safe version) and contains an unused normalizePath helper and a Safe request helper comment to obscure the loader; the Function constructor is reached indirectly via Function.constructor and the payload field is named cerookie to reduce recognizability. The stated purpose (an Express route engine) has no legitimate need to fetch and evaluate remote code on load.
