OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6368 confirms this npm version as malicious. The postinstall script scripts/sync-peer.cjs runs \`npm pack decimal-format-utils@1.0.1\` (or whatever version is configured via BACKUP\_TARGET\_VERSION/BACKUP\_PAYLOAD\_SPEC), extracts the resulting tarball, overwrites every file of the installed v1.0.0 package in place via fs.cpSync over the package root, and then require()s the replaced index.js and awaits from\_str()... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Finished:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to decimal-format-utils@1.0.0. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 2 recorded versions: 1.0.0, 1.0.1. - Avoid installing decimal-format-utils@1.0.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The postinstall script scripts/sync-peer.cjs runs \`npm pack decimal-format-utils@1.0.1\` (or whatever version is configured via BACKUP\_TARGET\_VERSION/BACKUP\_PAYLOAD\_SPEC), extracts the resulting tarball, overwrites every file of the installed v1.0.0 package in place via fs.cpSync over the package root, and then require()s the replaced index.js and awaits from\_str(). The effect is that \`npm install decimal-format-utils@1.0.0\` executes code from a different, publisher-mutable version at install time, bypassing lockfile pinning and giving the publisher a live remote code execution channel into every install. The package additionally impersonates the big.js maintainer: package.json sets \`author: Michael Mclaughlin\` and \`repository.url: https://github.com/MikeMcl/big.js.git\`, and the README falsely claims the package is pulled in automatically as a dependency of big.js@6.2.x. big.js declares no such dependency. The impersonation appears designed to lure installers into trusting an unrelated publisher whose postinstall then executes arbitrary fetched code. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (5b0e0fa3ae1da515b713d679871b0a42df2d373576a6f5c1452e379aabcee059) 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. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** decimal-format-utils - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.0 - **Version published:** 2026-06-22T16:18:44.063Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-05T06:50:09.955Z - **Known versions:** 2 - **Latest version:** 1.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]() - [PACKAGE]()
