OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-6528 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6528 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package ships a binding.gyp at the tarball root that contains GYP command-expansion syntax (\<!(...) / \<!@(...)) in its sources/targets configuration (binding.gyp line 6). npm implicitly invokes node-gyp rebuild whenever a binding.gyp is present — even with no declared install/postinstall script — and node-gyp evaluates \<!(...) as a shell command during the configure step...

## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

The package ships a binding.gyp at the tarball root that contains GYP command-expansion syntax (\<!(...) / \<!@(...)) in its sources/targets configuration (binding.gyp line 6). npm implicitly invokes node-gyp rebuild whenever a binding.gyp is present — even with no declared install/postinstall script — and node-gyp evaluates \<!(...) as a shell command during the configure step. This causes attacker-controlled shell to execute on the installer's machine on a default \`npm install\`, equivalent to a postinstall lifecycle hook. The package presents itself as an LDAP auth plugin for Backstage, a pure-JavaScript role for which a native addon (and thus a binding.gyp performing shell expansion) is not warranted. The traced content additionally tripped the model safety filter on output, corroborating the malicious shape of the embedded command. Installer impact: arbitrary code execution under the user running \`npm install\`, before any application code is invoked.
