{"id":"MAL-2026-13235","summary":"Malicious code in bigops-product-list (npm)","details":"\n---\n_-= Per source details.

A per-host filesystem cooldown marker (.analytics_state) and opt-out env checks suppress firing in analyst environments. A second copy of the same dropper is shipped in lib/telemetry.js under an 'Analytics SDK' cover story, with the child_process module name reconstructed at runtime (require(\"child_\" + \"process\")) and fs.chmodSync accessed via string concatenation. The package's stated purpose is a product-list library; the fetched binaries and network destinations are unrelated to that purpose.\n","modified":"2026-08-05T16:50:05.366531654Z","published":"2026-08-05T15:36:41Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"modified_time":"2026-08-05T15:36:41Z","sha256":"173f02a73c0c5d6ee6ac7bb757fa64aef91178cfb38c4772d30260c9a7ea4bc1","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["35.8.5"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-015765","import_time":"2026-08-05T16:13:42.722648553Z"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/bigops-product-list/v/35.8.5"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"bigops-product-list","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/bigops-product-list"},"versions":["35.8.5"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"package_integrity":[{"filename":"bigops-product-list-35.8.5.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"441c54ade84e1c66330a496e1e0eecd26b1b0f7e","sha512_sri":"sha512-uhlXMcwrOKvDZrXGdWDYjRQ6HlnCWhMAYka2HO2d/0oSB1qHCc8xgfHZ2sRGUOvPmMZT7DRcL93AdWFtmioOEg=="}}],"evidence_files":[{"sha256":"6f4cb6a2ca741be14d55b4bed3dd77abec5e2e43ab9764f243faf3d57620834e","tlsh":"32a1875a16a670188bb09be48b179816f65ff6633380c194fb9cb5985f7312443b2efc","path":"setup.js"},{"path":"lib/telemetry.js","sha256":"38bf13d3f02e644941b6f87f5e9bc9eca06286b721f0f4b9a104d9e26374af1c","tlsh":"46835055566a242186b2b368df234107ff3685272643429dbafc82dc1fbd72092a5ffc"}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/bigops-product-list/MAL-2026-13235.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.8.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
