Exploitation and risk

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.

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.

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (478839dda68d2c5eefa1a55557602d4b12396c988211b28d785af531d0b19d07) @dbbhk/[email protected] declares both preinstall and postinstall hooks in package.json that execute `node callback.js`, so the payload runs automatically on `npm install`. callback.js queries the AWS instance metadata service at 169.254.169.254 for IAM role credentials, reads ECS task-role credentials via AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI, iterates process.env harvesting variables matching AWS/SECRET/KEY/TOKEN/PASSWORD/CREDENTIAL/AUTH/API/NPM/GITHUB/GITLAB patterns, and reads credential files including ~/.aws/credentials, /root/.aws/credentials, ~/.npmrc,.env,.npmrc, and the Kubernetes service-account token at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token. It also collects host reconnaissance (hostname, whoami, id, platform, cwd, home directory, and CI-provider fingerprint for GitHub Actions/GitLab/Jenkins). Collected data is POSTed via https.request to api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendMessage against a hardcoded Telegram bot and chat id 1064260758. The package name and scope impersonate an HSBC internal component (dependency-confusion shape with an implausibly high 99.0.0 version), and a header comment self-labels the file as an HSBC bug-bounty PoC; the code performs indiscriminate credential harvesting on any installer regardless of that framing.
