The addon's napi_register_module_v1 Init routine calls fork(), opens a socket, connects to the hardcoded bare IP 64.181.165.115, and sends `POST /dc HTTP/1.0` with body `h=<HOSTNAME>&p=<npm_package_name>&u=<user>&r=<npm_config_registry>`, leaking the installing host's name, the resolved package name, and the configured npm registry URL to attacker infrastructure over plain TCP. The native binary ships with no accompanying C/C++ sources, no binding.gyp, and no legitimate functionality matching the stated `Frontend utilities` purpose; the JS entry point is an empty `module.exports = {}`. The version number 100.100.100 is implausibly high and consistent with resolution-winning against an internal package of the same name. Installing this package causes immediate outbound disclosure of install-environment and internal-registry metadata to the attacker.\n\n## Source: ossf-package-analysis (90252f22765869df637f77df2754cd36724812550151c9c7c53926bc83daad2e)\nThe OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'kmf-vendor-pack' @ 99.0.0 (npm) as malicious.\n\nIt is considered malicious because:\n\n- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.\n","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-09T15:49:57+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-12T06:00:06.2444157+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"kmf-vendor-pack","ranges":[],"versions":["99.0.0","100.100.101","100.100.100","100.100.106"],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://www.npmjs.com/package/kmf-vendor-pack/v/99.0.0","https://www.npmjs.com/package/kmf-vendor-pack/v/100.100.101","https://www.npmjs.com/package/kmf-vendor-pack/v/100.100.100","https://www.npmjs.com/package/kmf-vendor-pack/v/100.100.106","https://www.npmjs.com/package/kmf-vendor-pack"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-17744","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:MAL-2026-17744","identifiers":["MAL-2026-17744"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
