MAL-2026-6539 Malicious code in db-query-log (npm)

The package presents itself as a database query helper but index.js defines a method queryDBConnect() that base64-decodes a hardcoded URL pointing to https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/ZIAIK (an anonymous, attacker-mutable JSON paste host), fetches the.data.content field via axios, and compiles and executes the response as a Node module via new Module()._compile(…). The destination URL is stored as a base64 literal named HASH_KEY and decoded with atob() at runtime, hiding it from static inspection, and errors in the fetch-and-execute path are silently swallowed. Package metadata further misrepresents the project: package.json declares the name 'db-query-log' while repository/homepage/bugs all point to github.com/divbloxjs/dx-db-connector and the exported class is DivbloxDatabaseConnector, with the remote-exec method absent from that upstream's API. Any consumer that calls into the package's connector and reaches this code path will execute arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript inside the Node.js process with the installer's privileges.

Any 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.
