🛡️ MAL-2026-10458 — compliancepolicyserv

Malicious code in compliancepolicyserv (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

[email protected] registers index.js as both scripts.install and main. On npm install and on require, index.js loads lib/core.js, which reads os.userInfo().username, os.hostname(), and process.cwd(), concatenates them with a 'paypal' prefix, a timestamp, and the domain oob.sl4x0.xyz, and issues a dns.resolve4 query against the resulting subdomain, beaconing installer identifiers over DNS to an author-controlled domain. The destination host and the names of the os/dns/process APIs and their methods (userInfo, hostname, cwd, resolve4) are reconstructed at runtime from char-code arrays in lib/b02e30.js and lib/6ad264.js, hiding the exfil endpoint and sensitive API references from static inspection. The package name resembles a compliance-policy service but the shipped code performs no such function; the sole install/import-time effect is the DNS beacon.
