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-2026-15534/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-15534/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-15534","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-15534/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-15534","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q556-gm72-jcp7"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"package.json declares a single dependency whose value is a bare HTTP URL (https://repo.securityctrl.com/firestore-lite) rather than a registry version range. On `npm install`, npm fetches and installs whatever tarball that URL returns, running any lifecycle scripts contained in it, with no version pin and no integrity check. The dependency key is the package's own name, a dependency-confusion shape, and the shipped index.js is an inert stub — the manifest line is the entire published payload. The package name mimics the legitimate Firebase 'firestore-lite' module, and the version 45.0.0 is implausibly high for that name, consistent with an attempt to win version resolution against an internal package.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
