OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-6542 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6542 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package republishes the upstream \`treeify\` library (Luke Plaster, repo notatestuser/treeify) verbatim under the unrelated \`@osmura\` scope, preserving the original package.json author/repository/keywords/README as cover. Appended to \`treeify.js\` (starting around line 115) is ~93KB of obfuscator.io-style code (RC4+base64 string-array, \`while(!!\[\])\` control-flow flattening) that runs whenever a consumer does...

## Public findings

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

The package republishes the upstream \`treeify\` library (Luke Plaster, repo notatestuser/treeify) verbatim under the unrelated \`@osmura\` scope, preserving the original package.json author/repository/keywords/README as cover. Appended to \`treeify.js\` (starting around line 115) is ~93KB of obfuscator.io-style code (RC4+base64 string-array, \`while(!!\[\])\` control-flow flattening) that runs whenever a consumer does \`require('@osmura/treeify')\`. The injected code re-spawns Node detached with a marker environment variable, issues an HTTPS request to a hostname encoded inside the obfuscated string array, AES-256-GCM-decrypts the response using a key XOR-derived from four embedded base64 buffers, writes the plaintext payload into \`os.tmpdir()/\<name\>-\<pid\>/\`, and spawns it via \`child\_process.spawn(..., {stdio:..., windowsHide: true, detached: true})\` — see treeify.js:116 \`var aM = at\[ba(0x19,...)\](aK, aL, {'stdio':..., 'windowsHide':!!\[\], 'detached':!!\[\]})\` and the corresponding \`https.request({method: 'GET', hostname: aG\[...\], timeout: 60000},...)\` call. Two independent injected IIFEs implement the same dropper with separate encoded URL pools, providing fallback C2. Any installer that requires this package fetches and executes attacker-controlled code on their machine at import time.
