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.

On npm install, npm fetches whatever tarball that URL returns and installs it, running any lifecycle scripts contained in it, with no version pin, no integrity hash, and no signature check. The shipped index.js is an inert stub, so the manifest itself is the entire delivery mechanism: control of repo.securityctrl.com equals code execution on the installer's machine. The self-name dependency-confusion shape (dependency key equals the package's own name, implausibly high version 45.0.0) is consistent with an attempt to win resolution against an internal package of the same name.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.","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 ux-metrics-client-interaction-subscriber (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-15545","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":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"ux-metrics-client-interaction-subscriber","purl":"pkg:npm/ux-metrics-client-interaction-subscriber","source":"MAL-2026-15545"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-28","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-2026-15545/"}
