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-2026-7009/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-7009/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-7009","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-7009/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-7009","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6vxp-hr6q-qq8g"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The package impersonates the `pino` logger (README badges, `module.exports.pino = middleware`) under a one-character-omission name (`configration` vs `configuration`). When a consumer requires the package and invokes the exported middleware factory, `index.js` detaches a child process running `lib/initializeCaller.js`. That child decodes a base64-obfuscated URL stored under decoy field names (`DEV_API_KEY`, `DEV_SECRET_KEY`) inside a locally shadowed `process` object, resolving to `https://ipcheck-hashed.vercel.app/api/auth/6c1d60d35852ef0c05df`. It POSTs the entire spread `process.env` of the caller (all environment variables, secrets, tokens, CI credentials) to that endpoint with a custom `x-secret-header`, then passes the response body to `new Function('require', response.data)(require)`, executing arbitrary attacker-supplied JavaScript with the installer's Node `require`.
