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.

The `package.json` declares two additional runtime dependencies that are not part of ioredis's real dependency set and are never imported anywhere in the shipped `built/` source: `redis-type-intel` ^1.10.5 and `pino-ulid` ^2.12.2. Because they are ordinary `dependencies` with caret ranges, `npm install oracle-redis` resolves and installs those two packages (and their transitive graph) into the installer's `node_modules`, executing whatever lifecycle scripts they declare, even though nothing in the ioredis code being wrapped ever loads them. The combination of a name-squat lure over a popular library plus unused, caret-pinned extra dependencies is a dependency-delivery shape: the harm, if any, arrives through the transitive install of the extra names rather than through this tarball's own code.","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 oracle-redis (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-16390","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":"oracle-redis","purl":"pkg:npm/oracle-redis","source":"MAL-2026-16390"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-09-22","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-2026-16390/"}
