OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6285 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package new-solt@0.0.8 contains index.js which imports child_process and invokes execSync with bash and zsh shell strings (around lines 315 and 331). Without further code-flow tracing it cannot be determined whether these shell calls are tied to install-time or import-time side effects, whether they execute attacker-controlled or fetched content, or whether they form part of a documented user-facing CLI...

Summary
Malicious code in new-solt (npm)
Details
Package new-solt@0.0.8 contains index.js which imports child_process and invokes execSync with bash and zsh shell strings (around lines 315 and 331). Without further code-flow tracing it cannot be determined whether these shell calls are tied to install-time or import-time side effects, whether they execute attacker-controlled or fetched content, or whether they form part of a documented user-facing CLI. The pattern alone (child_process + shell execution) is consistent with both legitimate tooling and exfiltration/dropper behavior, so a human reviewer should examine the full execution path before installing or recommending this package. ## Source: ghsa-malware (0cb151695f19820479204dd7c0cc067a235aaffbb89340888bd79a39b8e6070c) 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.
