The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under cover names such as.cache_\u003chex\u003e and dotnet_diag_\u003chex\u003e.exe, chmodded 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start /b. A parallel dropper implementation is bundled at lib/telemetry.js dressed as an APM/telemetry SDK, using base64 chunk assembly (Buffer.from(chunks,'base64')), string-concatenated fs['chmod'+'Sync'] to set 0755, and cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', filePath+' &']). The string-split concealment of C2 hostnames, DNS exfil domains, and the child_process module name is deliberate static-analysis evasion.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (2d6e86c90eaa21bd4c4f13544a862940ad6abab638be66015cfb227b9a178c4d)\nAny 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.\n","aliases":["GHSA-hw9w-9435-w32f"],"modified":"2026-08-06T01:21:41.618175779Z","published":"2026-08-05T09:14:42Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"modified_time":"2026-08-05T09:14:42Z","sha256":"1a86edfca41ff32a7b044ecb921977944dbdc5cf5d2a3ccae4e5ca001a851816","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["20.1.5"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-014605","import_time":"2026-08-05T09:28:29.714973769Z"},{"ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"}],"type":"SEMVER"}],"sha256":"2d6e86c90eaa21bd4c4f13544a862940ad6abab638be66015cfb227b9a178c4d","source":"ghsa-malware","id":"GHSA-hw9w-9435-w32f","import_time":"2026-08-06T00:58:53.393089076Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T14:59:49Z"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/twork-data-services-product-design-data/v/20.1.5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-hw9w-9435-w32f"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"twork-data-services-product-design-data","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/twork-data-services-product-design-data"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["20.1.5"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"name":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature."}],"indicators":{"package_integrity":[{"filename":"twork-data-services-product-design-data-20.1.5.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"0de2916d57405fa60370fafee4b07bb65902aa87","sha512_sri":"sha512-5abta7qgV+OqFlH0c6CQG8BzEq3oQsYryZgESizu64vpg+mHkEyRTEJ9vIdXHChqnNQgyGQFlIQSwMd93PwEpg=="}}],"evidence_files":[{"tlsh":"35b1949a15b6301d87b0a7f48b174419fa5bf66333808294fb5ca9981f7352483b2efc","path":"_loader.js","sha256":"784838fd7dc0fbcf59bb4e99828ec1024837fd4e391ec747b6599cbee1e0dce3"},{"path":"lib/telemetry.js","sha256":"5f9e1f7e3b692e58b39af1d1f28fce8bb4b873d10af85df3d44f33801ba444ff","tlsh":"21835055566a242186b2b368df234107ff3685272643429dbafc82dc1fbd72092a5ffc"}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/twork-data-services-product-design-data/MAL-2026-12296.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.8.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
