OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-2929 confirms this npm version as malicious. On require(), path.js runs an IIFE that calls a loader which fetches a base64-hidden URL (https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/XTTBX) from jsonkeeper.com — an anonymous, mutable JSON paste host — and passes the returned \`data.content\` to eval(). A second loader fetches https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/P0CND for the same purpose... ## 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 path-extend@1.0.13. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 14 recorded versions: 1.0.10, 1.0.11, 1.0.12, 1.0.13, 1.0.6, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5, 1.0.7, 1.0.8, 1.0.9. - Avoid installing path-extend@1.0.13. 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 require(), path.js runs an IIFE that calls a loader which fetches a base64-hidden URL (https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/XTTBX) from jsonkeeper.com — an anonymous, mutable JSON paste host — and passes the returned \`data.content\` to eval(). A second loader fetches https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/P0CND for the same purpose. Variable names (\`randomStringRe\`, \`tokenStringRe\`) and base64-encoded URLs are obfuscation to evade scanning. The package name typosquats Node's built-in \`path\` module; package.json lists an empty author field and a generic 'Node.js path module' description, while path.js is otherwise a verbatim copy of Node core's path.js with the malicious fetch+eval block injected. Any installer that require()s this package runs attacker-controlled JavaScript in their Node process, with content the attacker can change at any time by editing the paste. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (71f280ff0423062f06e45d9a15b65e9dad0b791098bfcc9c5584f6084d28d300) 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. \#\# Source: ossf-package-analysis (6daf896311438eb762b70471958c7f04895813b4c057c34d6c2ab7c3728efd89) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'path-extend' @ 1.0.11 (npm) as malicious. It is considered malicious because: - The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity. - The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior. ## 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:** path-extend - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.13 - **Version published:** 2026-06-08T18:35:36.661Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-23T08:15:09.869Z - **Known versions:** 14 - **Latest version:** 1.0.13 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]()
