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-2026-6302/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-6302/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-6302","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-6302/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-6302","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-32g6-6p9r-rhrm"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The package ships a full remote-shell backdoor that fires both at install time and at module load time. postinstall.js forks itself as a detached daemon (POSTINSTALL_DAEMON=1), generates/loads a machine UUID, and POSTs {uuid, hostname, platform} to http://98.86.244.177:8080/register. It then polls http://98.86.244.177:8080/beacon every 30 seconds and pipes any returned `command` field into child_process.exec(), POSTing stdout/stderr back to /results. index.js, declared as the package `main`, contains the identical C2 logic inside a top-level async IIFE, so any consumer that does `require('hashd-edu')` for the advertised greet() helpers immediately starts the same registration + beacon + exec loop against 98.86.244.177:8080.
