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.

First, an unconditional POST beacon ({\"c53\":\"hello\"}) signals a successful install/import. Second, the module queries the AWS instance metadata service at 169.254.169.254 using IMDSv2 (PUT /latest/api/token) to enumerate instance identity, user-data, and IAM role security credentials from /latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/, then POSTs the collected object to the same host. Third, local_get() iterates process.env into a dictionary and recursively reads /var/run/secrets/ (Kubernetes service-account tokens and mounted secret files), POSTing both structures to the same endpoint. The destination host is unrelated to any declared publisher infrastructure and the URL path embeds the package name, consistent with a targeted dependency-confusion or supply-chain attack. Installing and loading this package on an EC2 host or in a Kubernetes workload yields the attacker full AWS role credentials, all environment variables (including secrets and tokens), and any mounted Kubernetes secrets.\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 @hrmony/lohndateien (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-17267","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":"@hrmony/lohndateien","purl":"pkg:npm/%40hrmony/lohndateien","source":"MAL-2026-17267"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-09-29","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-2026-17267/"}
