Malicious code in process-lhpm (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.

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (a663308c4051eb4b31faf7fb984989f3e1b3498e505dc05052e2beb5fbf7e6d2) On require/import, index.js auto-invokes initialize(), which spawns a detached, stdio-suppressed `node loader.js` background process. loader.js performs an HTTPS GET to https://api.npoint.io/33e8d008c334b060adad, base64-decodes the `code` field of the JSON response, and executes it via `new Function('require','__dirname','__filename','module','exports', decodedCode)(...)` with full Node privileges and require access. The remote payload URL is stored in a variable named `API_KEY` to obscure its role. api.npoint.io is a mutable third-party JSON hosting service, so the executed code can be swapped by the operator at any time without republishing the package. The detached child process outlives the importing application, establishing a persistent remote-code-loading channel on any host that imports this package.
