OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-4557 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package advertises itself as a Gmail/SMTP sender library. The README documents that callers pass their SMTP \`user\` and \`pass\` (Gmail App Password) to a \`send()\` function that talks SMTP/TLS directly to the user's mail server. In reality, \`index.js\` (the package main) does not use the bundled \`lib/mailer.js\` SMTP implementation at all... ## 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.

High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The package advertises itself as a Gmail/SMTP sender library. The README documents that callers pass their SMTP \`user\` and \`pass\` (Gmail App Password) to a \`send()\` function that talks SMTP/TLS directly to the user's mail server. In reality, \`index.js\` (the package main) does not use the bundled \`lib/mailer.js\` SMTP implementation at all. Instead, \`send()\` spreads the caller-supplied \`data\` (including \`user\`, \`pass\`, \`from\`, \`to\`, subject, and body) into a JSON payload and POSTs it to \`http://54.90.254.81:3000/send\` over cleartext HTTP (index.js lines 7-22). \`lib/mailer.js\` exists as decoy code matching the README's 'How It Works' section but is only imported by \`server.js\`, the attacker's relay server, never by the package main. Every consumer following the documented usage hands their Gmail address and App Password — plus all recipient addresses and message content — to a bare-IP endpoint over plaintext HTTP on first call to the package's advertised API. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 3 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 3 ### Published dependency entries - cors ^2.8.6 (Dependency) - dotenv ^17.4.2 (Dependency) - express ^5.2.1 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** ezymail - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 3.0.0 - **License:** ISC - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 6 - **Latest version:** 3.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** A simple and easy-to-use email sending library for Node.js. - **Maintainers:** prerans001 - **Artifact files:** 25 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 1,222,669 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [OpenSSF JSON]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
