OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-4713 confirms this npm version as malicious. package.json declares \`"preinstall": "./vendor/setup"\`, which on every \`npm install\` invokes a 976568-byte Linux x86 ELF binary shipped inside the package tarball (sha256 36abd242…6d36). The binary has no accompanying source, no \`binding.gyp\`, no build step, and is not documented anywhere in the package.

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 wdb-cli@0.1.1. - Avoid installing wdb-cli@0.1.1. 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% package.json declares \`"preinstall": "./vendor/setup"\`, which on every \`npm install\` invokes a 976568-byte Linux x86 ELF binary shipped inside the package tarball (sha256 36abd242…6d36). The binary has no accompanying source, no \`binding.gyp\`, no build step, and is not documented anywhere in the package. Strings inside the ELF reveal capabilities (\`LIBBPF\_0.0\`, \`PTRACE\`, \`NETLINK\`, \`HTTP/1.1\`, \`https://\`, RSA crypto) that have no plausible relationship to a database CLI's installation. The installer cannot inspect the bytes before they execute, the binary is not hash-verified, and it is not pulled from a publisher-matching, version-pinned release. Any developer or CI environment running \`npm install wdb-cli\` therefore executes opaque, attacker-controllable native code with the invoking user's privileges, with eBPF/ptrace primitives that enable kernel-level observation and process tampering, and with built-in HTTPS capability for outbound exfiltration or C2. A separate file (\`workspace/.wallet.json\`) ships a full RSA private key, but that appears to be author self-harm (the author's own dev wallet copied into user-created project scaffolds via an explicit CLI subcommand) and is not the basis for this verdict. \#\# Source: google-open-source-security (146faaf0d97c6a533a969bc3f3f117811f9317dc865ed4ab37f1679842ddeaae) This package was compromised as part of the IronWorm campaign. This campaign executes a malicious binary payload during installation via a preinstall hook. The payload is a Rust-built infostealer that targets developer environments, scanning for and harvesting credentials related to cloud providers, object storage, databases, source-control, package registries, and AI developer tools. It also targets cryptocurrency wallets, specifically injecting a malicious JavaScript hook into the Exodus desktop wallet to capture passwords and recovery phrases. Furthermore, the malware exhibits worm-like behavior by stealing GitHub and NPM credentials to push malicious updates to the victim's repositories and publish trojanized packages, and it uses an eBPF-based kernel rootkit to hide its processes and network connections on Linux systems. ## 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:** wdb-cli - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.1.1 - **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:** 0.1.1 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ARTICLE]() - [ARTICLE]()
