Description

Malicious code in react-error-lint (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

Package name and README impersonate the popular react-error-boundary library (advertising an ErrorBoundary export, citing bvaughn and kentcdodds.com), but index.js exports unrelated helpers setDefaultModule and buildoptimize. The buildoptimize function issues an HTTP request to the hardcoded URL https://vercel-node-rouge-beta.vercel.app/icons/23 and passes the response body to eval(JSON.parse(b)) with no integrity check. Any caller that invokes buildoptimize() runs whatever JavaScript the attacker-controlled Vercel preview endpoint returns at that moment, granting remote code execution on the installer's machine. The advertised ErrorBoundary API does not exist, confirming the package is a lure rather than a misnamed legitimate library.
