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.

The file imports http, https, fs, and child_process at the top, reads process.env.USER and other environment data, executes shell utilities (including ping for host reconnaissance), reads files via fs.readFileSync, base64-encodes the collected content (toString('base64') at L205 and L209), and posts it out via https.request/http.get with a hardcoded hostname and POST body. This is the canonical sysinfo+filesystem credential-stealer shape: the package's only on-load effect is to harvest installer-side data and ship it to a network destination. The package name (\"cdp-core\") and absence of any legitimate library functionality consistent with this code further indicate the file's purpose is exfiltration rather than a documented feature.","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 cdp-core (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-3752","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":"cdp-core","purl":"pkg:npm/cdp-core","source":"MAL-2026-3752"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-05-15","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-2026-3752/"}
