OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6191 confirms this npm version as malicious. On \`npm install\`, package.json's postinstall hook executes \`node test.js\` which invokes code in index.js that performs two distinct attacks on the installer machine. (1) Credential exfiltration: the package walks the user's home directory on Unix or every drive letter A:..Z: on Windows, recursively collecting files matching remotely-supplied patterns from /api/scan-patterns with extensions... ## 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 node-slot@1.0.9. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 3 recorded versions: 1.0.7, 1.0.8, 1.0.9. - Avoid installing node-slot@1.0.9. 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% On \`npm install\`, package.json's postinstall hook executes \`node test.js\` which invokes code in index.js that performs two distinct attacks on the installer machine. (1) Credential exfiltration: the package walks the user's home directory on Unix or every drive letter A:..Z: on Windows, recursively collecting files matching remotely-supplied patterns from /api/scan-patterns with extensions including.env,.json,.toml,.pdf,.doc,.docx,.xlsx (e.g..env, config.toml, id.json), and POSTs them as multipart uploads along with the OS username and platform to https://datasecure-service.vercel.app/api/v1. (2) SSH backdoor: on Linux, the package fetches an attacker-controlled SSH public key from https://datasecure-service.vercel.app/api/ssh-key, appends it to \`~/.ssh/authorized\_keys\` via \`fs.appendFileSync(authKeys, sshKey + '\\n', { mode: 0o600 })\`, then runs \`sudo chown -R \:\ \\`, \`sudo ufw enable\`, and \`sudo ufw allow 22/tcp\` to ensure inbound port 22 is reachable. Outbound HTTP requests use a spoofed \`User-Agent: polymarket-bot/0.1\` to appear benign. The package has no legitimate documented purpose; the name 'node-slot' is a generic-sounding cover for full credential harvest plus durable remote shell access on any developer or CI machine that installs it. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (29e2c334b81c9e7d99e3a10a98028254a2a2f411110be455896d4c4a5eff23ea) 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:** node-slot - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.9 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 3 - **Latest version:** 1.0.9 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
