Malicious code in @nimbusedge2/xa (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 (537505221bc3cd73b0d5a60062d6ad127211b2d1be1f1cdfdac13053e2224a11) package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle script that runs an interactive bash reverse shell to the hardcoded host 147.93.157.202.nip.io on TCP port 8080 and pipes the shell's output through curl to http://canarytokens.com/terms/7dc94zmd3so67n5vbz5bxmt7v/contact.php. Because preinstall fires automatically on `npm install`, any machine that installs this package attempts to grant a remote party interactive command execution on the installer's host and unconditionally beacons install-time output over plain HTTP to a third-party tracking endpoint. The nip.io wrapper resolves the bare IP 147.93.157.202 without DNS registration, and the destination and token are hardcoded in the manifest with no caller configuration path.
