Advisory

MAL-2026-18192

Source

OpenSSF Malicious Packages via OSV

Summary

Malicious code in agentic-awesome-skills (npm)

Details

Any 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.

Independent LPM AI assessment

Manual Review

Independent AI assessment: manual_review. LPM AI review remains unresolved.

Inspected code shows no confirmed attack, and the flagged credential use is directed to the matching service. The required binary PDF remains unresolved, so the package cannot be marked clean from the available evidence.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

No attack trigger was verified; the reviewed command line tools run when invoked.

Impact

The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior; the unresolved PDF prevents a clean conclusion.

Mechanism

The reviewed examples send user-provided credentials to their corresponding services. The PDF contents were not verifiable as UTF-8 source.

AI rationale

Network endpoints2

api.apify.comhuggingface.co

Independent scan evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 68.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest exposes command line tools and has no lifecycle hook in its scripts.
The Apify example sends caller-selected actor input to Apify’s API using the supplied Apify token.
The Hugging Face example sends HF_TOKEN to the Hugging Face API.
The required PDF finding could not be verified as UTF-8 source; its contents remain unresolved.

Evidence against

The installer is a separately invoked command that clones the package repository to install selected skills.
The Electron driver describes explicit commands for launching and operating an app.
