Importing the package automatically launches a detached JavaScript loader that retrieves and executes additional code from npoint.io. The retrieved payload communicates with an attacker-controlled server and implements clipboard collection, keyboard and mouse event collection, filesystem scanning, and theft of Chrome extension storage.\n\n---\n_-= Per source details.

In-source comments self-describe the module as an embedded remote-code-execution client.\n","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-16T08:40:49+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-09-16T23:00:05.3886095+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"process-mite","ranges":[],"versions":["1.1.79"],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://www.npmjs.com/package/process-mite/v/1.1.79"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-16224","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:MAL-2026-16224","identifiers":["MAL-2026-16224"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
