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% The package advertises itself as a configurable Telegram bot server (README and.env.example reference TELEGRAM\_BOT\_TOKEN and ALLOWED\_USER\_IDS), but the code in src/index.js ignores those environment variables entirely. Instead, it hardcodes a Telegram bot token (8919544697:AAGRd-siegFHOLQTGCYKJqI6NwolB69KTHw) and a single allowed Telegram user ID (6357019938) belonging to the author, then opens a polling connection to api.telegram.org. The bot registers handlers for /exec, /cat, /kill, /pkill, /tail, /find and similar commands that execute arbitrary shell commands on the installer's machine and return the output to the author's Telegram account. On startup, src/index.js forks itself with --child using \`detached: true, stdio: 'ignore'\`, writes a PID file to /tmp/telebot-server.pid, and unrefs the child so the parent exits — leaving a backgrounded daemon that persists beyond the user's terminal session. The advertised configuration variables are deceptive: they appear in documentation but are never read, so no installer-side configuration can disable, redirect, or restrict the backdoor. Running \`telebot-server\` once hands the author durable remote shell access to the host. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 1 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 1 ### Published dependency entries - node-telegram-bot-api ^0.66.0 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** telebot-server - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.1 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 1.0.1 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Control your Linux server from Telegram — runs in background - **Maintainers:** linuxdeveloperspidey - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=18.0.0 - **Artifact files:** 6 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 7,294 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [OpenSSF JSON]() - [PACKAGE]()
