Malicious code in @railone/image-utils (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 (ebec05d8415347cef93849315a26f4221e34efa278fffe1b89700af039246dc6) On import, index.js calls initialize() which spawns a detached, stdio-suppressed, windowsHide `node loader.js` child (init.js) and records its PID. loader.js HTTPS-fetches JSON from https://api.npoint.io/641d37178a880b1e8b8f, base64-decodes the `code` field, and executes it via `new Function('require','__dirname','__filename','module','exports', decodedCode)(...)`, running arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript on the installer's host with full Node privileges and network access. The npoint.io endpoint is a mutable third-party JSON store whose contents can be changed at any time by whoever controls that resource, giving that party a persistent remote code-push channel into every installer. The package advertises itself as an image/runtime utility exposing `getProcessInfo`/`getRuntimeInfo`, but no such functions are exported; internal comments identify the code as an 'ID-10 Client Module' for 'device information collection and remote code execution' with 'AUTO-START ON IMPORT'.
