The version suffix and small file count are consistent with a placeholder or staging release rather than a functional library. The package name resembles a form-validation utility but no concrete malicious behavior is present in the shipped contents.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (bf6f10a65ed9643f6b0d7d9021c929e7931a26695b332a13c64d96ac7ccfd1c6)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.\n","affected":[{"package":{"name":"csec-form-validatorr","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/csec-form-validatorr"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.0.0-stage"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"package_integrity":[{"filename":"csec-form-validatorr-0.0.0-stage.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"4185f7178f1b131d79a31ec5c463901b4c309785","sha512_sri":"sha512-Ew7ufmsBQsZq+OGl7Q+H10x5xqFSOMbSDXpDBG5NhlNj4X1Mag4/MlsrUjvLcqSt/pmPhU+TOyDHHO4bHFhtCw=="}}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/csec-form-validatorr/MAL-2026-18353.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-ph3g-jrf5-8792"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/csec-form-validatorr/v/0.0.0-stage"}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"GHSA-ph3g-jrf5-8792","import_time":"2026-10-27T23:17:40.879775678Z","modified_time":"2026-10-27T23:04:36Z","ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"}],"type":"SEMVER"}],"sha256":"bf6f10a65ed9643f6b0d7d9021c929e7931a26695b332a13c64d96ac7ccfd1c6","source":"ghsa-malware"},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-022194","import_time":"2026-10-29T14:14:33.378753567Z","modified_time":"2026-10-29T14:01:14Z","sha256":"aff8facc55023666afe4d90942161c6319aee23e3bbfc66fc3cd05a828e15140","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["0.0.0-stage"]}]},"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
