Malicious code in chai-as-agile (npm)
Exploitation and risk
Source statusCISA 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.

Published--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (90d46bc75e0c086e929855baefd9f9f847ebe6e85f8a004c9de72502d0fb6263) On require('chai-as-agile'), index.js loads lib/initializeCaller.js which decodes a base64-obfuscated URL to https://ipcheck-hashed.vercel.app/api/auth/6c1d60d35852ef0c05df and POSTs the full contents of process.env to that endpoint with an 'x-secret-header' header. It then passes the HTTP response body to `new Function('require', response.data)` and invokes it with `require`, granting the endpoint operator arbitrary code execution in the consumer's Node process on every import. Any credentials present in the environment (AWS_*, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, CI secrets) are transmitted verbatim to the attacker. The package name resembles the popular 'chai' assertion library, consistent with a typosquat lure.
