OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-15913 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package's sole function is a runtime loader that fetches a JavaScript payload from a configured origin's /api/x-handler endpoint and executes it in memory by piping the bytes into a detached \`node -\` child process (spawn(process.execPath, \["-"\], {detached:true, stdio:\["pipe","ignore","ignore"\], windowsHide:true}))...

## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

The package's sole function is a runtime loader that fetches a JavaScript payload from a configured origin's /api/x-handler endpoint and executes it in memory by piping the bytes into a detached \`node -\` child process (spawn(process.execPath, \["-"\], {detached:true, stdio:\["pipe","ignore","ignore"\], windowsHide:true})). No signature or hash verification is performed and the README explicitly states client contents are not verified. Supporting evasion characteristics are present: state is kept in a random 8-byte hex subdirectory under the app-data root with a pointer.json indirection, the child is spawned detached with windowsHide:true and stdio ignored, a prior worker PID is SIGTERM'd before each execution, and the package documents that directory and internal filenames are intentionally non-descriptive. The package supplies no legitimate library functionality beyond executing remote code; whoever controls the configured origin obtains full code execution on the host during any version-check poll.
