The decoded URL is fetched and the JSON response's `cookie` field is passed to `new Function.constructor('require', response)(require)`, executing attacker-controlled JavaScript with the host process's full Node privileges and `require` handed in. The destination is an anonymous, author-mutable tiiny.site host with no pinning or integrity check. Any application that requires this package expecting pino and invokes the middleware will fetch and execute whatever the attacker is currently serving.\n","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-18T20:25:47+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-08T04:00:04.1837904+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"chai-as-indexed","ranges":[],"versions":["7.2.8","6.0.5"],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://www.npmjs.com/package/chai-as-indexed/v/7.2.8","https://www.npmjs.com/package/chai-as-indexed/v/6.0.5"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-16293","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:MAL-2026-16293","identifiers":["MAL-2026-16293"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
