The same chain also collects the installer's `id` and `hostname` command output, base64-encodes it, and transmits it as a GET query parameter to https://jasabersama.id/portfolio-data.php with TLS verification disabled. Both triggers fire without user interaction: the postinstall hook runs on `npm install`, and the identical main entry re-runs the chain on `require`/`import` (including when n8n loads this as a community node). The package presents as an n8n utility helper but ships no such functionality; its only behavior is dropping and executing attacker-hosted DDoS tooling while beaconing host identity to the attacker's C2.\n","modified":"2026-08-12T15:30:16.211763972Z","published":"2026-08-12T15:09:21Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-017592","import_time":"2026-08-12T15:26:12.626836669Z","modified_time":"2026-08-12T15:09:21Z","sha256":"5f2ee90541bcb630e80a800d961efa8a534f59200943e7aa09c57f8d4972157f"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/@years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-k/v/1.0.0"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"@years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-k","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/%40years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-k"},"versions":["1.0.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/@years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-k/MAL-2026-13894.json","cwes":[{"name":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature."}],"indicators":{"package_integrity":[{"filename":"n8n-nodes-utils-helper-k-1.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha512_sri":"sha512-MIBuU2EoqpRA7f8yVgrlhoPK1BpkXWIRZeO8+dMifDjNRCIyTxF7PKNEhEag4TpM0oQKvqeypJSxS9o7QrQVPA==","sha1":"903f62ad8baf53c8dc2d629c12e586fea840762f"}}],"evidence_files":[{"tlsh":"1b51a6f51521913c003311289f17e879e32fa20798a0fdd9fa8e56725f0161cd64fb78","path":"callback.js","sha256":"47924dadac91aeda94104bb167a64e883a3a149ca2b795eabef9c6caef32bafd"},{"path":"index.js","sha256":"47924dadac91aeda94104bb167a64e883a3a149ca2b795eabef9c6caef32bafd","tlsh":"1b51a6f51521913c003311289f17e879e32fa20798a0fdd9fa8e56725f0161cd64fb78"}]}}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
