Exploitation and risk

CISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.

Which CVEs have scores here?

This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.

No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity. --- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (c2b733a611e3d27e56f4c6ee549bbcf3d88a1c823512c13797440c4c13f2712c) The package's index.js imports os, fs, and https at the top level and reads os.hostname() and os.userInfo() before sending the collected host identity over an outbound HTTPS request. The package name impersonates PayPal/Postman branding while shipping no legitimate library functionality, and the only observable behavior is collection and transmission of installer host data. Installing or requiring this package causes the installer's hostname and OS user identity to be sent to a third-party endpoint. ## Source: ghsa-malware (d1aef7d24ee6f2a862da9b261ae8d267bfcd3e277adfe6d09edb31b7c7b18570) Any 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.
