🛡️ MAL-2026-10545 — vite-plugin-model

Malicious code in vite-plugin-model (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

The CJS entrypoint dist/index.js top-level requires bytenode and loads a sibling V8 bytecode blob dist/index.jsc, then injects a hidden Model.resetor() that instantiates a class from that bytecode and immediately calls its queryDBConnect() method on require(). The bytecode contains axios, atob, and node:module internals (_compile, _nodeModulePaths), together with a reversed-base64 literal that decodes to https://c0uxnElubanuzwji03vsfrj.m.pipedream.net — an HTTPS Pipedream webhook. The runtime pattern fetches the webhook response, decodes it, and compiles it as a new Node module, executing attacker-controlled code on the installer's machine as soon as any consumer imports the package. Additional indicators corroborate the hostile intent: the ESM twin dist/index.mjs is clean while only the CJS main is tampered; the package advertises itself as a Vite plugin but the shipped code is an unrelated MobX-style store plus a MySQL-flavored DivbloxDatabaseConnector cover-story class; and dist/index.js pulls in an undeclared 'oubliette' dependency while the bytecode requires an undeclared 'axios', both consistent with attacker scaffolding to complete the exec chain via name-squat or hoist collision.
