Malicious code in idx_form_script (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.

It reads CI/CD credential environment variables including AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, DOCKER_PASSWORD, GITHUB_REPOSITORY, and GITHUB_ACTOR, and includes their values or presence flags in a JSON payload. The payload is POSTed to a hardcoded Discord webhook at discord.com/api/webhooks/1549797176794943579/..., with an additional DNS-based exfil channel. The package's self-labeling as an 'authorized PoC' is author-controlled cover-story text and does not change the observed behavior: any organization that resolves this name from the public registry will run installer-side reconnaissance and ship credential-context data to an attacker-controlled endpoint. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (59d074c4d6bd941d9586764043d556a83d301711c58eb661d57d63fa06ebec60) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'idx_form_script' @ 999.0.4 (npm) as malicious.
