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-2026-6935/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-6935/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-6935","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-6935/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-6935","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6mpp-f748-7f4q"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The package name resembles the legitimate Nuxt ecosystem tooling (e.g., @nuxt/load-nuxt), and the version 99.0.3 is a common dependency-confusion / version-inflation shape used to force npm to prefer this artifact over an internal package of the same name. No install-time, import-time, or runtime code paths in the scanned files show credential harvesting, remote-code fetch-and-execute, exfiltration, or backdoor behavior. Because no concrete installer-harm mechanism was observed, this cannot be classified as an active attack from the current artifact contents alone, but the name + inflated-version pattern is consistent with a dependency-confusion lure and warrants human review before allowing it into a build.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
