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-h475-44q2-vfjx"],"modified":"2026-09-30T07:00:32.998268278Z","published":"2026-09-30T00:39:47Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"sha256":"38311c0f483e9485a7b5e8aa7f9a093a40203d8e1a025c0bf5850c2874cffdfa","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-020749","import_time":"2026-09-30T00:52:54.455745166Z","modified_time":"2026-09-30T00:39:47Z"},{"id":"GHSA-h475-44q2-vfjx","import_time":"2026-09-30T06:43:04.831589026Z","modified_time":"2026-09-30T05:45:42Z","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"sha256":"583291fe7133304271006d1ca425c04aebce7279be07963310434403dfc19319","source":"ghsa-malware"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/web-vitals-polyfill-core-v1/v/1.0.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-h475-44q2-vfjx"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"web-vitals-polyfill-core-v1","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/web-vitals-polyfill-core-v1"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.0.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/web-vitals-polyfill-core-v1/MAL-2026-17303.json","cwes":[{"name":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature."},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"tlsh":"e391e796cec72e94d7f8815b35ec7eee0c8e538b3ce3699e525be5d9600940141c58f4","path":"disk/index.min.js","sha256":"76ec2b68807c6ef7ae1e93dbc31b21d0ab1fa8ea865719a9b8b85f1bdb295dfe"}],"package_integrity":[{"hashes":{"sha512_sri":"sha512-+cAO6H59vIT9kOsrXQIoYfR+/KPW3TrSC1AaYkkl+P/hGwsnf8/X6FrzegHqsdxWNPdkwe5nlF/ZPkVt6UBQqQ==","sha1":"eed8f8e6cb0ca54e780186b679a466ac774d156d"},"filename":"web-vitals-polyfill-core-v1-1.0.0.tgz"}]}}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
