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-2026-17262/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-17262/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-17262","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-17262/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-17262","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h2q3-6wwv-v7c8"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"index.js executes top-level async code on any require/import of the package. The code (1) obtains an AWS IMDSv2 token and fetches EC2 instance identity, IAM role temporary security credentials from /latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/\u003crole\u003e and identity-credentials/ec2/security-credentials/ec2-instance, plus user-data and network metadata; (2) serializes the full process.env; (3) recursively reads /var/run/secrets/, which on Kubernetes contains service-account tokens and mounted secrets; and (4) POSTs the aggregated JSON to the hardcoded endpoint https://hrnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save_instance_info_from_pkge_hrmony_interfaces. The package ships a single ~5KB file with an empty description under the name @hrmony/interfaces (resembling a private/internal scope), and the exfiltration URL path is tagged per-package, consistent with a dependency-confusion campaign. The exfiltrated IAM role credentials grant AWS API access under the installing host's role; captured environment variables and Kubernetes service-account tokens grant further access to CI, build, and cluster resources.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
