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. If the package is not used anywhere, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-17290/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-17290/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-17290","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-17290/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-17290","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"@rutxploit-sec/waves-button-poc@1.0.0 auto-executes host-identifier exfiltration on both `npm install` and `require`. package.json declares a preinstall script that runs `node -e` code which reads `os.hostname()` and `os.userInfo().username` and issues a plaintext HTTP GET to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://80.225.217.8/poc/dep-confusion-proof.html, passing the package name, host, and user as query parameters. The declared main entry index.js repeats the same behavior at module top level, so any consumer that requires the package also beacons the same identifiers to the same IP. The scoped name and PoC framing are consistent with a dependency-confusion proof-of-concept, but the shipped code performs unauthenticated identifier collection from every installer regardless of intent, and the destination is an attacker-chosen bare IP over cleartext HTTP.","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 @rutxploit-sec/waves-button-poc (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-17290","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":"@rutxploit-sec/waves-button-poc","purl":"pkg:npm/%40rutxploit-sec/waves-button-poc","source":"MAL-2026-17290"}],"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-2026-17290/"}
