OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6071 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package presents as an n8n community node but is an attack artifact. The node's execute() in dist/SecurityTestNode.node.js queries AWS IMDSv1/v2 (http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/) and ECS metadata (169.254.170.2) for IAM role credentials, then iterates process.env to harvest every key matching /AWS|AMAZON|ECS|ECR/i, returning all of it in the node's workflow output... ## 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 n8n-nodes-security-test-poc@1.0.5. - Avoid installing n8n-nodes-security-test-poc@1.0.5. 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 presents as an n8n community node but is an attack artifact. The node's execute() in dist/SecurityTestNode.node.js queries AWS IMDSv1/v2 (http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/) and ECS metadata (169.254.170.2) for IAM role credentials, then iterates process.env to harvest every key matching /AWS|AMAZON|ECS|ECR/i, returning all of it in the node's workflow output. Any installer who adds this node to a workflow on an EC2/ECS host leaks the host IAM role's STS credentials and AWS env vars to the workflow output (which is typically persisted/logged) — direct AWS account compromise. The tarball additionally ships preinstall.js, which runs \`id && hostname && whoami && uname -a && cat /etc/os-release\`, writes /tmp/n8n-rce-proof.txt, and POSTs the recon output to https://worker.n8n-prod.schibsted.com/rest/variables (with rejectUnauthorized:false) and to 127.0.0.1:5678/rest/variables, using a hardcoded \`n8n-auth\` JWT cookie belonging to a third-party org's n8n deployment. package.json does not declare a preinstall lifecycle hook, so the recon payload does not auto-fire on \`npm install\`, but the file is bundled as a ready-to-run RCE proof and the JWT is redistributed to anyone who installs the package. The combination of (a) credential-harvest node code reachable on first workflow execution, (b) shipped exfiltration payload with hardcoded victim infrastructure, and (c) redistribution of a third-party auth token makes this an attack artifact regardless of the author's stated PoC framing. ## 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:** n8n-nodes-security-test-poc - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.5 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 5 - **Latest version:** 1.0.5 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Security test PoC node for n8n - **Maintainers:** diego95root-account - **Keywords:** n8n-community-node-package - **Artifact files:** 4 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 4,980 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [OpenSSF JSON]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
