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-2026-7022/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-7022/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-7022","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-7022/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-7022","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wchw-4whx-qhq5"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The package presents itself as the `pino` logger (README, index.d.ts, docs/, and lib/ files all reference pinojs/pino) but is published under the unrelated name `tslint-conf`. Its default export is an Express-style middleware factory whose invocation synchronously calls `runJobA`, which uses `child_process.spawn(\"node\", [\"lib/caller.js\",...], { detached: true, stdio: \"ignore\" })` followed by `child.unref()` to launch a hidden background worker. `lib/caller.js` performs `axios.get` against `https://peach-eligible-penguin-917.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafkreigjnxn5vnn34rc5r43ajwwkmk4akqpm4awmq5gdhakgszpeqiffsu`, takes the response body, and passes it to `new Function.constructor(\"require\", s)` then invokes the resulting function with `require`, granting the fetched code full Node.js capabilities on the host. The remote content is attacker-controlled (Pinata account under the operator's control), unpinned by hash/signature, and executed unconditionally on every use of the middleware. Combined with the pino cover story, any consumer misled into using this package as their logger triggers remote code execution.\n\nAny 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.","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 tslint-conf (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-7022","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":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"tslint-conf","purl":"pkg:npm/tslint-conf","source":"MAL-2026-7022"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-07-08","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-2026-7022/"}
