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.

On `npm install`, npm fetches that URL and installs whatever bytes it returns, executing any lifecycle scripts inside the fetched tarball on the installer's host with no version pin, no hash, and no integrity check — whoever controls that bucket controls code executed at install time. The shipped index.js is an empty stub (`module.exports = {}`), so the package's only effect is to pull in the off-registry archive. The package is published under the `@pinecone-experience` scope at version 99.9.1 — an implausibly high version under a vendor-looking scope, matching the dependency-confusion shape where a high version is used to win resolution against an internal package of the same name.\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 @pinecone-experience/messages (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-17631","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":"@pinecone-experience/messages","purl":"pkg:npm/%40pinecone-experience/messages","source":"MAL-2026-17631"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-10-06","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-2026-17631/"}
