The package impersonates the n8n task-runner subsystem but its shipped n8n node (MyNode.js) is a no-op stub whose execute() returns \[\[\]\]. The real payload lives in index.js (the package main), which runs a recon() function on module load. recon() reads ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.config/gcloud/application\_default\_credentials.json, ~/.azure/accessTokens.json, kubeconfig files, the Kubernetes service-account token,... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-28T14:50:07.902Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-28T14:50:07.902Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The package impersonates the n8n task-runner subsystem but its shipped n8n node (MyNode.js) is a no-op stub whose execute() returns \[\[\]\]. The real payload lives in index.js (the package main), which runs a recon() function on module load. recon() reads ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.config/gcloud/application\_default\_credentials.json, ~/.azure/accessTokens.json, kubeconfig files, the Kubernetes service-account token, ~/.ssh/id\_\* and authorized\_keys, and environment variables matching token/key/secret/pass/auth/aws/gcp/azure/npm/github/gitlab. It also shells out via curl and child\_process to run id, ps aux, and read /proc/mounts, /proc/net/route, /etc/resolv.conf, /proc/1/cgroup, and arp; probes cloud instance-metadata services at 169.254.169.254 and metadata.google.internal; TCP-scans internal targets including the Docker API at 172.17.0.1:2375, an internal GKE API at 10.0.42.16:6443, Jenkins, and Kubernetes API endpoints; and enumerates /var/run/docker.sock. The aggregated JSON is POSTed to a hardcoded webhook.site collector at https://webhook.site/31b8dedb-f324-475f-8ffa-2b84878f4961. The n8n node stub exists only to make the package look like a legitimate community node while the credential stealer executes at require time. ## 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-task-runner - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.13 - **Version published:** 2026-07-17T13:36:56.747Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-17T12:07:07.811Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-28T14:50:07.902Z - **Known versions:** 17 - **Latest version:** 1.0.16 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
