OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6848 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package advertises itself as a log formatter but exposes an undocumented \`threadContent\` option on \`createLogger()\` that is forwarded to a worker thread which compiles and executes it via \`new Function('require', payload)(require)\` (src/worker.js lines 5-7, triggered from src/index.js lines 148-151)... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-06T20:10:25.474Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-06T20:10:25.474Z - **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 log-format-thread@1.0.1. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 2 recorded versions: 1.0.0, 1.0.1. - Avoid installing log-format-thread@1.0.1. 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% Package advertises itself as a log formatter but exposes an undocumented \`threadContent\` option on \`createLogger()\` that is forwarded to a worker thread which compiles and executes it via \`new Function('require', payload)(require)\` (src/worker.js lines 5-7, triggered from src/index.js lines 148-151). The eval only runs against a payload the caller explicitly supplies, so installing or requiring the package does not by itself execute attacker-controlled code, and there are no install hooks, no remote fetches, no credential reads, and no outbound exfiltration. However, the feature is undocumented in the README, is shaped like a backdoor primitive rather than logging functionality, and the package also pulls in \`axios\` and \`request\` despite the README claiming 'Zero dependencies'. Consumers who pass user-controlled or otherwise untrusted data into \`threadContent\` would expose their application to arbitrary code execution. Routing to human review so a maintainer can decide whether to publish a public advisory about the undocumented eval surface and the dependency mismatch. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (336e8b05b5d99a33aed734a8bc6940554d865ad279346612362782f4cded5ff3) 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:** log-format-thread - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.1 - **Version published:** 2026-06-20T15:44:19.471Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-06T20:10:25.474Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-06T20:10:25.474Z - **Known versions:** 2 - **Latest version:** 1.0.1 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [ADVISORY]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
