Malicious code in swnwall (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 (70fb3b7b76f32b1c101b04c15933b403658f199267e9c3c34ebea9aba917949a) On require/import, index.js invokes initialize() which spawns loader.js as a detached, hidden background child process (detached: true, windowsHide: true, stdio: 'ignore', unref'd) and records a.pid file to avoid re-spawning. loader.js performs an HTTPS GET against https://api.npoint.io/641d37178a880b1e8b8f (a user-editable JSON hosting service), base64-decodes the `code` field of the response, and executes the decoded payload via `new Function("require",..., decodedCode)(require, __dirname, __filename,...)`, granting the fetched code full access to Node's require, filesystem, and process APIs on the installer's machine. loader.js additionally monkey-patches Module.prototype.require to force windowsHide on all child_process spawn calls and reroute execSync through a hidden `cmd.exe /c`, concealing further child-process activity. The remote payload is mutable and attacker-controllable via the npoint.io endpoint.
