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-2026-5882/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-5882/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-5882","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-5882/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-5882","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w3ww-qq48-r4j9"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"Package is published as `redis-type-os` but all in-package references (README, docs/, CHANGELOG, repository field, author email) point to `redis-om` / `redis-om-node` by Guy Royse. `dist/index.js` is the upstream redis-om bundle verbatim. The only meaningful divergence from upstream is an added runtime dependency `hex-type@^3.0.2` declared in `package.json`, which is not imported anywhere in the shipped code. The package itself contains no exfiltration, dropper, install hook, or credential-handling code; the carrier ships legitimate redis-om functionality. The supply-chain concern is two-fold: (1) the package name (`redis-type-os` vs `redis-om`) plus impersonated author identity creates confusion for developers who mistype the real package, and (2) installing it silently pulls `hex-type` into the dependency closure for reasons unrelated to the advertised functionality. Whether `hex-type` itself is benign or malicious must be evaluated separately. Routed for human review because name-similarity and author-impersonation are subjective judgments and the carrier itself executes no harmful code at install or import time.\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 redis-type-os (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-5882","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":"redis-type-os","purl":"pkg:npm/redis-type-os","source":"MAL-2026-5882"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-06-16","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-2026-5882/"}
