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-2026-4499/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-4499/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-4499","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-4499/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-4499","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-75c2-fw59-mg5f","GHSA-pfrq-994m-rxrr"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"Package executes a DNS-based beacon at both install time (package.json scripts.install runs `node index.js`) and on every `require()` of the module. lib/core.js reads `os.userInfo().username`, `os.hostname()`, and `process.cwd()`, concatenates them with a campaign tag into a single label, and triggers `dns.resolve4` against that label under the attacker-controlled domain `oob.sl4x0.xyz`, leaking installer host identity over DNS (a channel chosen to bypass HTTP-egress controls). The C2 domain and Node built-in names (`os`, `dns`, `process`, `resolve4`) are stored as char-code arrays in lib/b02e30.js and lib/6ad264.js to defeat string-grep scanners. The package name `bolt-delivery-menu-app` impersonates the Bolt delivery brand while shipping generic 'Enterprise Utilities' boilerplate as its cover story, and the author email `research@sl4x0.xyz` resolves to the same domain as the exfil destination — the typosquat lure, the cover identity, and the C2 are one operation. README falsely claims 'No network requests'.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
