Summary
Malicious code in vlbhvgovbbhfab (npm)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: amazon-inspector (d5b717c270d7c4f965a421923d78bff7a86b044999f557386a258c7050768620)

Package vlbhvgovbbhfab@1.0.0 contains 2 files. No install-time lifecycle scripts, exfiltration primitives, hardcoded network destinations, credential-file reads, obfuscated payloads, or dropper patterns were observed in the package contents. The random-looking name and minimal footprint are consistent with a placeholder or test publication rather than a functional library.

Source: ghsa-malware (2746aef3ed1459f14b1a2ad27052692bc2ed813fc308c831cd54295d7b4d5bb6)

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.
