OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-17222 confirms this npm version as malicious. vite-plugin-crypto@1.0.2 exposes a Vite plugin factory whose body concatenates three option fields — \`secret\`, \`salt\`, and \`iv\` — into a single string and passes it to \`System.import(...)\` from the \`systemjs\` runtime module loader, discarding the returned promise with \`.then(() =\> {})\`... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T18:35:05.738Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T18:35:05.738Z - **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 vite-plugin-crypto@1.0.2. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 3 recorded versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.0, 1.0.1. - Avoid installing vite-plugin-crypto@1.0.2. 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% vite-plugin-crypto@1.0.2 exposes a Vite plugin factory whose body concatenates three option fields — \`secret\`, \`salt\`, and \`iv\` — into a single string and passes it to \`System.import(...)\` from the \`systemjs\` runtime module loader, discarding the returned promise with \`.then(() =\> {})\`. Only \`secret\` is used by the advertised AES-GCM \`encrypt()\` path; \`salt\` and \`iv\` are declared on the options type but are absent from the documented options table and are unused by the real crypto code (which generates its own random salt/IV per call). The concatenated string is treated as a module specifier by SystemJS, which resolves URLs and executes fetched JavaScript, so whoever controls these option values obtains arbitrary JavaScript execution on the Vite build/dev host each time the config is loaded. Pulling in a browser-oriented dynamic module loader as the package's only runtime dependency, naming the concatenated input \`derivedSecret\`, and swallowing the promise frame the remote-loader call as a benign key-derivation step. Base64 decoding in dist/index.cjs and dist/index.js is used within the AES-GCM helper. The trigger fires at plugin construction during \`vite build\` / \`vite dev\`. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (fdaf333e613f70df12ceaf378093d996a4bc1dd4df1a6350c4848a5de0fb83e7) 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:** vite-plugin-crypto - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.2 - **Version published:** 2026-09-25T14:53:01.413Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-09-26T11:35:04.296Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-09-30T01:15:06.057Z - **Known versions:** 6 - **Latest version:** 0.0.1-security - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OSV advisory]() - [ADVISORY]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
