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-2026-16215/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-16215/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-16215","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-16215/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-16215","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The package's main entrypoint (index.js) invokes an initializer at top level that spawns loader.js as a detached background Node process on every require/import. loader.js issues an HTTPS GET to https://api.npoint.io/24c25d5f5fcbb0992a4f, base64-decodes the JSON `code` field, and passes the decoded string to `new Function(require, __dirname, __filename, module, exports,...)`, executing attacker-controlled JavaScript with full Node privileges as the installing user.
