- 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%

On require('jwtmode'), decode.js immediately invokes getThirdCookie(), which performs an HTTP GET to https://jsonkeeper.com/b/AZ9ZF, takes the response field response.data.errCode, passes it to \`new Function.constructor('require', errCode)\`, and invokes the resulting function with the real Node \`require\`. This is unconditional remote code execution at import time from a mutable, attacker-controlled paste host, with full Node capability (filesystem, network, child\_process) via \`require\`. The package additionally impersonates auth0's jsonwebtoken: it is named jwtmode, declares \`author: auth0\`, points its repository field at a non-existent github.com/auth0/node-jwtmode, and re-exports jsonwebtoken's public API surface (decode, JsonWebTokenError, NotBeforeError, TokenExpiredError) — a brand-impersonation lure to trick developers into installing it instead of jsonwebtoken. Any project that requires jwtmode will execute whatever JavaScript the operator of jsonkeeper.com/b/AZ9ZF chooses to serve at that moment.
