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 name namespaces an internal-sounding team (`alexa-cybertron-team-...`) and is published at version 100.0.0, a shape consistent with a dependency-confusion probe designed to win resolution against a private internal package and report back which victim environments installed it. There is no relationship between the advertised titleCase functionality and the install-time host reconnaissance beacon.","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 alexa-cybertron-team-code-review-agent (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-17430","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":"alexa-cybertron-team-code-review-agent","purl":"pkg:npm/alexa-cybertron-team-code-review-agent","source":"MAL-2026-17430"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-09-30","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-2026-17430/"}
