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-2026-6441/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-6441/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-6441","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-6441/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-6441","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"On require('unifydata'), index.js calls initPlugin() at module top level, performs an HTTPS GET to https://jsonkeeper.com/b/B40HL, JSON-parses the response, and executes the response's `cookie` field as JavaScript via `new Function.constructor('require', body.cookie)` — then immediately invokes the resulting function with the real `require`, granting it full Node module-loading capability. jsonkeeper.com is an anonymous, author-mutable JSON paste service; the bytes executed in any installer process are whatever the author has posted there at the time of import, with no pinning, hashing, or signature. The package presents itself with a header comment labeling it `normalize-plus (ES6 safe version)` and ships a benign-looking `normalizePath` helper as a decoy, while the published package name is `unifydata` — the mislabeled cover and unused utility code are consistent with a dropper masquerading as a routine helper. Any process that imports this package executes arbitrary attacker-controlled code with the privileges of that process.","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 unifydata (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-6441","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":"unifydata","purl":"pkg:npm/unifydata","source":"MAL-2026-6441"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-06-25","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-2026-6441/"}
