Malicious code in alelo-core (npm)

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.

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

The destination is a bare IP unrelated to any declared publisher;.npmrc typically contains npm auth tokens and.env files hold application secrets, so installation of this package results in exfiltration of credentials, tokens, and host identity from the installer's machine. A shipped login.ps1 references npm account [email protected] as the publishing identity. The package name resembles an internal/branded package (Alelo), consistent with a dependency-confusion lure.
