Threats Tagged 'mal-2026-5232'

The npm package autotel-vitest version 0.4.26 contains malicious code known as the Miasma malware. This malware is a self-propagating worm that spreads by abusing weaponized binding.gyp files to execute code during package installation, bypassing security tools that only inspect lifecycle scripts. It attempts to exfiltrate credentials and OIDC tokens for cloud and registry services and propagates by compromising other packages or committing backdoor files to GitHub repositories. Any system with this package installed should be considered fully compromised, and all secrets and keys on that system should be rotated immediately. Removing the package alone may not remove all malicious software resulting from the infection.
